Struggling Újpest will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Ferencváros in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Insights:
  • Újpest has the most conceded goals (40) in OTP Bank Liga
  • Ferencváros has the fewest conceded goals (10) in OTP Bank Liga

It's no vacation for neither Újpest nor Ferencváros 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.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Ferencváros are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
