The league table in OTP Bank Liga tells a story about these teams so far, with Várda SE leading Honvéd by 11 points. Match preview to follow:
- Várda SE has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in OTP Bank Liga
- Honvéd have scored at least twice as many goals away as Várda SE have scored home.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Várda SE form and stats
When playing at home in the OTP Bank Liga, Várda SE, who have the fewest scored goals (4) at home in OTP Bank Liga, have managed 2 wins, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 5 games.
Stress levels are on the rise for Várda's attacking players as they have now played 184 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Jelena was their last goal scorer. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper David Dombo not having conceded a league goal in 239 minutes.
Várda SE drew their last game, 0-0 away at Puskas (placed 6th). Before that, Várda drew at home versus Budafoki MTE.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Várda matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the OTP Bank Liga game versus Ujpest in only three days. This game is also played here at Jevnaker Stadion.
Várda aren't scoring a lot here at Jevnaker Stadion in the league, with only 4 goals from 5 games. 6 goals have been conceded.
Honvéd form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their OTP Bank Liga travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
There were no winners in Honvéd's previous match, a OTP Bank Liga home game that ended 2-2 vs MTK (placed 5th). A loss against Puskas was the result prior to that, in a home game.
It looked so good for Honvéd vs MTK, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Honvéd playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and zero home wins.
A quick return to home after this game, as Honvéd are hosting Diosgyor in the OTP Bank Liga only four days away.
Honvéd has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 9 goals from 5 games. In the opposite end, Honvéd have conceded 8 goals in their away games.
