The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Újpest are in the 8th position while the guesting Kaposvári Rákóczi worry at 12th.
It's no vacation for neither Újpest nor Kaposvári Rákóczi 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.
Újpest form and stats
5-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the OTP Bank Liga numbers at home for Újpest so far this season.
Újpest's previous game was a OTP Bank Liga match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Zalaegerszegi TE (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Újpest lost 0-1 at Ferencváros's place.
A late climax in the match against Zalaegerszegi TE as the winning goal came four minutes into overtime; scored by Kire Ristevski.
The Újpest fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. Újpest have conceded 22 in these home matches.
Kaposvári Rákóczi form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Kaposvári Rákóczi, who have the most conceded goals (75) in OTP Bank Liga, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-14 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 13 away games in a row. Recent form does not give Kaposvári much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Újpest will be a tough nut to crack.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Kaposvári, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-4 versus Honvéd (placed 5th). A 1-2 loss hosting Várda SE before that.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Kaposvári, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

The home team won five of these as expected, three of them by at least two goals. Kaposvári managed one draw and zero surprise wins.
