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, Paksi SE in 6th and Várda SE in 5th place.
- Paksi SE have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Várda SE has the fewest scored goals (22) in OTP Bank Liga
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!
Paksi are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Várda are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Paksi SE form and stats
The story so far in the OTP Bank Liga for Paksi SE at their home stadium (Paksi FC Stadion) is 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Paksi FC Stadion.
Paksi are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Puskás. A strong away win before that one, visiting Csakvari TK and winning 3-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Paksi SE have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost zero.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Hungarian Cup game versus Budafoki MTE in only three days. This game is also played here at Paksi FC Stadion.
Paksi can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 23 times. Paksi have conceded 12 in these home matches.
Várda SE form and stats
As the visiting team in OTP Bank Liga matches, Várda SE, who have the fewest scored goals (22) in OTP Bank Liga, have produced an overall stat of 4-3-3 so far.
The supporters enjoyed Várda's previous game versus Zalaegerszegi TE (placed 11th), a OTP Bank Liga 2-1 win played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Soroksar SC.
The end of the last match, against Zalaegerszegi TE, was very satisfying as Zoltán Horváth scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
We have checked recent matches where Várda have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were six victories, three draws and two defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Várda SE now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Hungarian Cup game at Szombathelyi Haladas is waiting in only three days.
Várda have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 13 goals have been scored. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 14 goals have been conceded by Várda in these games.
