Budafoki MTE form and stats

Budafoki MTE's struggle is real here at Promontor utcai stadion with only 11 points collected from 11 OTP Bank Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-6.

It's back home for Budafoki, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Paksi SE away with the result 4-2. D. Zsóri and A. Skribek (3) found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against Puskas with the scoreline 0-3.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? A. Skribek was absolutely essential when Budafoki beat Paksi SE 4-2, scoring three goals.
