A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Puskás fans are optimistic that the difference between 4th and Diósgyőr's 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Diósgyőr has the fewest scored goals in the second half (7) in OTP Bank Liga

It's no vacation for neither Puskás nor Diósgyőr as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Diósgyőr are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Happy days for Puskás in their previous game, a OTP Bank Liga match away at MTK (placed 5th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Ferencváros.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Z. Hornyák when Krisztián Géresi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 71st minute. A late climax in the match against MTK as the winning goal came six minutes into overtime; scored by Krisztián Géresi.

Diósgyőr form and stats

There's been little loot from Diósgyőr's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the OTP Bank Liga. Diósgyőr, who have the fewest points (3) away in OTP Bank Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 0 draws.

Diósgyőr's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Budafoki MTE that finished 1-1. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Paksi SE's place.

We have checked recent matches where Diósgyőr have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were zero victories, two draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Diósgyőr are hosting Varda SE in the OTP Bank Liga only three days away.

The attacking power of Diósgyőr when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Diósgyőr, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
