This could be an interesting match as Várda SE have their presumed home advantage while Puskás are ahead 12 points in the OTP Bank Liga table.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Várda SE form and stats
Várda SE have played 15 OTP Bank Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-3-5 (wins-draws-losses).
Happy days for Várda in their previous game, a OTP Bank Liga match away at Kaposvari Rakoczi (placed 12th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Preceding that match was a defeat to Zalaegerszegi TE (0-1).
This is expected to be a close game, with Várda SE perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Várda SE as a small favourite), we find nine games. Várda has won four of these, drawn two and lost three.
The manager T. Bódog will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Diósgyőr in only three days.
