Honvéd form and stats

Honvéd's results here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion in the OTP Bank Liga have been very modest with 2 victories, 6 draws and 7 defeats.

In their previous game, the manager F. Horváth led his Honvéd to a defeat in the OTP Bank Liga match away at Paksi SE. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion. Ahead of that match, Honvéd lost 2-3 at home to MOL Vidi.

This is expected to be a close game, with Honvéd perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Honvéd as a small favourite), we find eight games. Honvéd has won one of these, drawn five and lost two.

Honvéd have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion with 24 goals in 15 league matches. Honvéd have conceded 26 from these games.

Mezőkövesd-Zsóry, who have the fewest scored goals (9) away in OTP Bank Liga, have only collected 12 points from their away games in the OTP Bank Liga, after 2-6-7 (15 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Mezőkövesd-Zsóry who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Budafoki MTE was the last time a defeat was avoided. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Mezőkövesd-Zsóry have lost on their last two travels.

The manager A. Pintér was unhappy after their last game, a OTP Bank Liga match played at their home ground Városi Stadion. Mezőkövesd-Zsóry suffered a 1-3 loss to MOL Vidi (placed 3rd). Prior to that match, the Mezőkövesd-Zsóry manager A. Pintér faced defeat when travelling to Ujpest and losing 0-3.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Mezőkövesd-Zsóry playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were six Mezőkövesd-Zsóry wins, five draws and three defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mezőkövesd-Zsóry as they have only managed to score 9 times from 15 away games in the league. 21 goals have been conceded by Mezőkövesd-Zsóry in these games.
