Season ticket holders at Szusza Ferenc Stadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Újpest languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Honvéd will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
The visiting Honvéd played their last game only three days ago, a Hungarian Cup match.
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Újpest form and stats
Újpest's struggle is real here at Szusza Ferenc Stadion with only 9 points collected from 12 OTP Bank Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-7.
Stress levels are on the rise for Újpest's attacking players as they have now played 213 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Litauszki was their last goal scorer.
The fans are hoping that Újpest will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the OTP Bank Liga game against Varda SE (placed 7th). Before that game, the home loss against Ferencvaros with the scoreline 0-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Újpest have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found six matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Debrecen are coming to town in three days.
Újpest has scored 12 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Újpest defense is not exactly impregnable. 19 goals conceded from 12 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Honvéd had fun at their own home (Szusza Ferenc Stadion) last time out, beating Mezokovesd-Zsory 2-1. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Debrecen in the OTP Bank Liga.
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 eleven relevant matches. Results were three Honvéd wins, four draws and four defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Honvéd are hosting MOL Vidi in the OTP Bank Liga only three days away.
