An important duel in the bottom section of the NB 1, with both Paksi SE and Zalaegerszegi TE experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 11th and the visitors in 10th place.

Paksi SE and Zalaegerszegi TE 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.

Zalaegerszegi TE have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Zalaegerszegi TE are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
