Struggling Paksi SE will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Puskás in the upcoming league round. It’s 9th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
It's no vacation for neither Paksi SE nor Puskás as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Relegation threatens Paksi SE who should definitely be looking for some points here. Puskás are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Paksi SE form and stats
4 victories, 1 draw and 4 defeats. That’s what Paksi SE have to build on here at Paksi FC Stadion in the NB 1. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Paksi FC Stadion.
Paksi SE are confident in defense, having played 205 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Paksi SE are returning here after visiting Kaposvari Rakoczi in a NB 1 game and winning with a 3-0 scoreline. N. Könyves (2) scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Paksi SE won a home game hosting Zalaegerszegi TE (2-0).
This is expected to be a close game, with Paksi SE perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Paksi SE as a small favourite), we find nine games. Paksi SE has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Paksi SE as they are travelling to their away game against Pecsi MFC in the Hungarian Cup. That match is four days after this one.
Paksi SE has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Puskás form and stats
4-4-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Puskás in their NB 1 matches away. Puskás are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played seven in a row without losing. Puskás have had a generous will to share for some time now, running a streak of three draws in a row.
Puskás's last game was the home draw against Diosgyor (2-2). Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Debrecen.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Puskás playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Puskás wins, three draws and three defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Puskás manager Z. Hornyák as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bekescsaba.
The travelling fans enjoy Puskás's attacking play in away games, having scored 14 goals in 9 league matches away. As opposed to that, Puskás have seen the ball go into their own net 9 times on the road.
