Paksi SE have only collected 7 points from their away games in the OTP Bank Liga, after 2-1-4 (7 played).

Paksi SE might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Honved proved too strong as Paksi slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Paksi FC Stadion. Late heartbreak for Paksi in the Honved match, as the deciding 2-3 goal came deep into overtime.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Debrecen that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Paksi playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were two Paksi SE wins, zero draws and five defeats.
