Honvéd and Újpest have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the NB 1.
Újpest could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Hungarian Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Vac. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
