Budafoki MTE form and stats

With 4 OTP Bank Liga wins, 2 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Budafoki MTE, who have the fewest clean sheets (3) in OTP Bank Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Budafoki, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

D. Kovacs was the last player to score a league goal for Budafoki MTE and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Budafoki MTE haven't scored in 234 minutes.

Budafoki drew their last game, 0-0 away at MTK (placed 5th). Preceding that match was a defeat to Ferencvaros (0-4).

This is expected to be a close game, with Budafoki MTE perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Budafoki as a small favourite), we find eight games. Budafoki MTE has won one of these, drawn two and lost five.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Budafoki as they are travelling to their away game against Zalaegerszegi TE in the OTP Bank Liga. That match is four days after this one.

Diósgyőr form and stats

There's been little loot from Diósgyőr's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 14 away games in the OTP Bank Liga. Diósgyőr, who have the fewest points (6) away in OTP Bank Liga, only have 2 wins to counter their 12 defeats and 0 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Diósgyőr have lost on their last two travels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Zalaegerszegi TE wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.
