Várda SE are welcoming Paksi SE for another important game after their 2-2 result against 6th-placed Diósgyőr.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Várda SE is in the 10th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Paksi SE are staying put at 9th place whatever happens for the rest of the season.

Várda SE have played 11 NB 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-4 (wins-draws-losses).

The home supporters saw a 2-2 draw versus Diósgyőr in the NB 1 last time out and are looking for a win here. Prior to that, an away loss at Puskás.

A disappointing finish for Várda SE in their match versus Diósgyőr as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score.

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 Várda SE have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won zero times, drawn two and lost one.

A decent goal production from Várda SE in their home games so far, with 18 goals from 11 league matches. Várda SE's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Paksi SE go into this game after a win, the home game against Debrecen that ended 4-2. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Pecsi MFC.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Debrecen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

We have checked recent matches where Paksi SE have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, two draws and five defeats.
