Debrecen form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their NB 1 travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 4 defeats. A depressing four defeats in a row for Debrecen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Honvéd.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Debrecen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Várda SE (placed 7th). Preceding that, the 1-6 home loss versus Ferencvaros.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Debrecen manager A. Herczeg as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Dorogi.

Debrecen find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 5 away fixtures in the league. For Debrecen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
