Debrecen form and stats

There's been little loot from Debrecen's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 7 away games in the NB 1. Debrecen only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 0 draws.

The supporters enjoyed Debrecen's previous game versus Újpest (placed 6th), a NB 1 4-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Kaposvári Rákóczi wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.

As mentioned above, Debrecen was the only team on the pitch versus Újpest in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

After this away game Debrecen return home for a NB 1 game against MOL Vidi. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Debrecen find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 10 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. The Debrecen manager A. Herczeg has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The teams have played each other before this season, with the result Debrecen - Puskás 1-2 entered in the official records. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Puskás, 2 draws and 5 wins for Debrecen. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
