It's still early in the NB 1 season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Honvéd - Debrecen preview!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Honvéd and Debrecen.

Honvéd form and stats

Honvéd have less points than they have played home games in the NB 1 so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 0 points. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Honvéd with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Universitatea Craiova game, 22 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Honvéd manager G. Sannino might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The Honvéd fans got no joy from their last match, a NB 1 game also here at Bozsik Stadion: A 2-3 defeat against Debrecen. Preceding that match was the home game against Várda SE that was lost 1-3.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Honvéd have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

At Bozsik Stadion, Honvéd has the goal stats of 3-6 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Debrecen form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the NB 1, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from 16 matches.

It's the second away game in a row for Debrecen, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Honvéd in the NB 1 last time out. That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Zalaegerszegi TE.

Debrecen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of seven matches.

Debrecen have the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Honvéd - Debrecen 2-3. Last ten meetings between the teams: Honvéd won 2, Debrecen won 6 and 2 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
