Venue: ZTE-Aréna (14000 seats)

The visiting Ferencváros side should be favourites in this visit to Zalaegerszegi TE, as the away team holds a 25 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Hungarian Cup. Thankfully the previous game, versus MOL Vidi, was also a home game here at ZTE-Aréna. The away team is better rested.

Ferencváros have already won the NB 1. Congratulations! It will be interesting to see if this affects performances here at the final stages.
