This could be an interesting match as Diósgyőr have their presumed home advantage while Mezőkövesd-Zsóry are ahead 8 points in the OTP Bank Liga table.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Hungarian Cup game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at MOL Vidi. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Diósgyőr form and stats
6 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. That’s what Diósgyőr have to build on here at Diósgyőri Stadion in the OTP Bank Liga. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Diósgyőri Stadion.
Diósgyőr drew their last game, 1-1 away at MOL Vidi (placed 2nd). Before that, Diósgyőr had a home game versus Ujpest which ended with a victory 2-1.
H. Tabakovic was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against MOL Vidi after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
Diósgyőr are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Diósgyőr have conceded 15 goals.
Mezőkövesd-Zsóry form and stats
Mezőkövesd-Zsóry's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Mezőkövesd-Zsóry collect 24 points from their 12 away matches in the OTP Bank Liga. 7 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). Momentum is building for Mezőkövesd-Zsóry in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
The Mezőkövesd-Zsóry goalkeeper Peter Szappanos is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 224 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Mezőkövesd-Zsóry has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to MOL Vidi for a Hungarian Cup game that ended a draw (2-2). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting MOL Vidi.
Drawing 2-2 against MOL Vidi after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Kuttor needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
Mezőkövesd-Zsóry has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 22 goals from 12 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (11 so far).
