Zalaegerszegi TE form and stats

Zalaegerszegi TE have played three OTP Bank Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Zalaegerszegi, their manager R. Waltner and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Happy days for Zalaegerszegi in their previous game, a Hungarian Cup match away at Vac that ended with a 4-0 victory. As mentioned above, Zalaegerszegi TE "killed" Vac in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Before that, Zalaegerszegi played out a OTP Bank Liga draw 2-2 when visiting Ujpest.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Zalaegerszegi TE have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites).

Paksi SE form and stats

Things could have gone better for Paksi SE in their OTP Bank Liga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
