Zalaegerszegi TE form and stats

Zalaegerszegi TE, who have the most conceded goals (18) in OTP Bank Liga, have played 4 OTP Bank Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). With Zalaegerszegi TE having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager R. Waltner.

Zalaegerszegi's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-5 versus Paksi SE (placed 3rd). As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

A strong away win before that one, visiting Vac and winning 4-0.

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

Zalaegerszegi has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches.
