This match features two teams living in the basement of the NB 1, Újpest holding 9th place and Paksi SE lying 10th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Paksi SE could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Hungarian Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Honvéd, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Paksi SE.
Újpest form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the NB 1 this season. Újpest have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at ZTE-Aréna. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Újpest, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
The fans are hoping that Újpest will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the NB 1 game against Diósgyőr (placed 5th). Before that game, the home loss against Puskás with the scoreline 2-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Újpest have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost two.
The Újpest fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Újpest have conceded 17 from these games.
Paksi SE form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Paksi SE so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-8 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Paksi SE have lost on their last two travels.
The attacking players of Paksi SE have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 180 minutes.
There might be some fixture complaints from Paksi SE as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Hungarian Cup match against Honvéd (0-2). Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Honvéd in the NB 1.
Paksi SE are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and six defeats. From a total of nine matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Paksi SE have scored 13 goals in 12 league games away. Paksi SE's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.
