Várda SE and Debrecen have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the NB 1.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Várda SE form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Várda SE have to build on here at Varkert Sportpalya in the NB 1.

Várda SE manager L. Dajka and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Paksi SE (placed 11th) in the NB 1. Heartbreak before that as Várda SE lost 1-3 at Diósgyőr's place.

Debrecen form and stats

Playing away, Debrecen, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in NB 1, have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 3 defeats in the NB 1 this season. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Debrecen are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a NB 1 home defeat versus Ferencvaros with 1-6 on the scoreboard. A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Paksi SE.

Debrecen lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-6 beating and focus on this one.

Debrecen are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 7 times in 4 away games so far. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Debrecen concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Debrecen - Várda SE 4-1 earlier this season. Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: 2 wins for Várda SE, 2 draws and 2 wins for Debrecen. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 1 game.
