Zalaegerszegi TE form and stats

Zalaegerszegi TE are yet to win a home game, having collected 1 point from their first two OTP Bank Liga games here at ZTE-Aréna.

Happy days for Zalaegerszegi in their previous game, a OTP Bank Liga match away at Debrecen (placed 4th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of R. Waltner when Eros Grezda scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.

Before that game, the home loss against Puskas with the scoreline 1-3.

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

At ZTE-Aréna, Zalaegerszegi TE has the goal stats of 2-4 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Honvéd form and stats

The OTP Bank Liga season is young and Honvéd have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

Dominik Nagy (2) and Nenad Lukić scored in Honvéd's previous match, the home game against Paksi SE that ended 3-1.

A 1-1 draw at Ujpest's stadium before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Honvéd playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Honvéd wins, four draws and four defeats.

It's early days yet, but Honvéd has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the last ten meetings between these two crews are: three wins for Zalaegerszegi, one draw and six wins for Honvéd. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
