MTK form and stats

3-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the OTP Bank Liga numbers at home for MTK so far this season. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion.

MTK faced defeat in their previous match, away at Zalaegerszegi TE (0-2). Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Diósgyőr.

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

The MTK fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 7 matches. On the other hand, MTK have conceded 9 goals.
