The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Puskás are in the 8th position while the guesting Zalaegerszegi TE worry at 10th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Puskás form and stats
Puskás have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the OTP Bank Liga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Puskás to get some points in this home game.
J. Nunes was the last player to score a league goal for Puskás and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Puskás haven't scored in 266 minutes.
It's back home for Puskás, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Szentlorinc SE (after extra-time) away with the result 4-0. Heartbreak before that as Puskás lost 0-3 at Diosgyor's place.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Puskás played a great game against Szentlorinc SE (after extra-time) and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
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 Puskás have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won four times, drawn three and lost three.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Honvéd are coming to town in four days.
Puskás has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Puskás have conceded 5 from these games.
Zalaegerszegi TE form and stats
Zalaegerszegi TE are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the OTP Bank Liga, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss). Recent form does not give Zalaegerszegi TE much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Puskás will be a tough nut to crack.
Zalaegerszegi play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Lipot SK. A 1-3 loss hosting Budafoki MTE before that.
Zalaegerszegi are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and two defeats. From a total of six matches.
Zalaegerszegi are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. As opposed to that, Zalaegerszegi have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
