So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Honvéd playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were three Honvéd wins, four draws and three defeats.

It's a day of discovery for Honvéd as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Honvéd have played four with the results W1-D1-L2 (win-draw-lost). In these games Honvéd has scored 6 goals and conceded 8 times.

Let's have a look at how Honvéd performed last season in the OTP Bank Liga: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 12 victories, 8 draws and 13 defeats. In total they scored 36 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 4 and lost 6 with 15/18 goals scored/conceded.
