With 0 OTP Bank Liga wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Honvéd, who have the fewest points (3) at home in OTP Bank Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With seven home OTP Bank Liga games in a row without a win, the Honvéd fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Varda SE game long ago, can be stopped today.

Honvéd shared the glory with Varda SE in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus MTK.

Diósgyőr form and stats

There's been little loot from Diósgyőr's travels as they have only collected 0 points from 6 away games in the OTP Bank Liga. Diósgyőr, who have the fewest points (0) away in OTP Bank Liga, only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws. Diósgyőr are still without points from their OTP Bank Liga away games. 6 games, 6 defeats. Bitter travels for Diósgyőr as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Zalaegerszegi TE match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Diósgyőr who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Puskas was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Two away games in a row for Diósgyőr, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus MTK in the OTP Bank Liga. A loss against Ferencváros was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Late heartbreak for Diósgyőr in the MTK match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.

Diósgyőr are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of three matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Zalaegerszegi TE in just three days.
