Újpest form and stats

Újpest have less points than they have played home games in the OTP Bank Liga so far. Their two previous attempts here have produced 1 point.

Újpest enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Ivancsa's place. The match ended 4-0. Heartbreak before that as Újpest lost 1-5 at MOL Vidi's place.

As mentioned above, Újpest "killed" Ivancsa in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

This is expected to be a close game, with Újpest perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Újpest as a small favourite), we find four games. Újpest has won two of these, drawn one and lost one.

Early season league goal statistics from Újpest's 2 home games: 3 goals, 5 conceded.
