Kaposvári Rákóczi, who have the most conceded goals (52) in NB 1, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 0 draws.

If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's certainly not visible for the supporters. A depressing eight defeats in a row for Kaposvári Rákóczi in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Debrecen.

Kaposvári Rákóczi aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 379 league minutes without a goal. M. Fodor was the last player to find the net.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Mezokovesd-Zsory was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
