Honvéd and Diósgyőr have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the NB 1.
Honvéd and Diósgyőr should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Honvéd is in the 5th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. For Diósgyőr most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.
