Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Diósgyőr in 5th and Újpest in 8th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Újpest is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
