The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Diósgyőr are in the 7th position while the guesting Várda SE worry at 10th.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Diósgyőr and Várda SE.
Diósgyőr form and stats
Diósgyőr have collected 23 points from their OTP Bank Liga home games so far after 7-2-6. It's trouble wherever Diósgyőr are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Diósgyőr are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Paksi SE. Heartbreak before that as Diósgyőr lost 0-4 at Debrecen's place.
A goal frenzy last time out for Diósgyőr, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Paksi SE. Fun stuff to watch!
This is expected to be a close game, with Diósgyőr perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Diósgyőr as a small favourite), we find three games. Diósgyőr has won one of these, drawn zero and lost two.
The Diósgyőr fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 15 matches. Diósgyőr have conceded 18 in these home matches.
Várda SE form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Várda SE so far with only 14 points returning home. The records show 4-2-10 (win-draw-lose).
Várda's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Puskás that finished 1-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Kaposvári Rákóczi.
The draw against Puskás came from a losing position. The Várda manager T. Bódog brought on Jefferson Gomes de Oliveira as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Várda SE playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were zero Várda SE wins, zero draws and one defeat.
Várda are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 16 games (in the league). As for defending, Várda rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 25 goals from these away matches.
