Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Honvéd in 6th and Debrecen in 8th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Honvéd form and stats
4 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what Honvéd have to build on here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion in the OTP Bank Liga. Honvéd are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion, having lost their two previous games here.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus MTK (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) in the Hungarian Cup last time out and are looking for a win here. A 0-0 draw away before that, with MTK the opponent.
The Honvéd fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Debrecen form and stats
There's been little loot from Debrecen's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the OTP Bank Liga. Debrecen only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 1 draw. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Z. Vitelki, the Debrecen manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Debrecen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-2 versus Ferencvaros (placed 1st). A loss against Zalaegerszegi TE was the result prior to that, in a home game.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Debrecen have scored 15 goals in 12 league games away. Debrecen have conceded 24 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Debrecen - Honvéd 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - three - six (Honvéd wins - draws - Debrecen wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
