Honvéd form and stats

Honvéd's results here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion in the OTP Bank Liga have been very modest with 1 victory, 4 draws and 4 defeats.

It's back home for Honvéd, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating MOL Vidi away with the result 2-1. Bence Batik and Patrik Hidi found the net in that victory. Nobody expected Honvéd to beat MOL Vidi in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Before that, Honvéd drew at home versus Zalaegerszegi TE.

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 seven games. Honvéd has won zero of these, drawn five and lost two.

Honvéd are traveling soon after this match as the OTP Bank Liga match at Mezokovesd-Zsory awaits in three days.

The Honvéd fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 9 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.

Paksi SE form and stats

Paksi SE, who have the most conceded goals (24) away in OTP Bank Liga, have only collected 9 points from their away games in the OTP Bank Liga, after 2-3-4 (9 played).

Paksi SE are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 4-4 draw at Zalaegerszegi TE (placed 8th). That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Diósgyőr.

It looked so good for Paksi SE vs Zalaegerszegi TE, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 4-2 lead was turned into a 4-4 draw. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Paksi, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Paksi SE in our archives, and the results are: one win for Paksi, zero draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Paksi SE are hosting Budafoki MTE in the OTP Bank Liga only four days away.
