Head-to-Head
- The last 5 head-to-head matchups have been close games, with Debrecen winning 2, ZTE winning 1 and 2 draws.
- Debreceni VSC's recent form: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat from the last 5.
Debreceni VSC
- Debreceni VSC currently sit 8th in NB I 2026/2027 with 10 points from 9 games, one point ahead of 9th placed Zalaegerszegi TE, who've earned 9 points from their 9 matches.
- Debreceni VSC's recent form: 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat from the last 5.
- Debrecen have been more dangerous going forward in recent games, with a 4-2 win at Paksi SE and a 1-1 draw at Ferencvaros in their last 3 games.
- Debrecen's home form isn't stellar either (W1, D2, L2), having scored just 6 goals in 5 games, so we'll take the goals selection for Sunday's encounter.
Zalaegerszegi TE
- ZTE's style is perhaps the polar opposite, with Celikkaya setting up his side to sit deep and be compact, before exploding forward with pace and a hunger for turnovers.
- ZTE head into this game without a victory on the road in NB I 2026/2027 (0-0-5), they've scored just 1 goal in those 5 games while conceding 14, so it's fair to say they've been lucky to get 1 point away from home.
- While Debrecen are the more likely winners, it's also fair to assume that ZTE will be competitive enough to make this a tough game.
Key Players
- Gert Remmel has perhaps made Debreceni VSC a little more sophisticated, adopting a more possession-based system, with the ball played from the back and a higher press applied in order to win the ball back.
- ZTE should be good for a goal on Sunday, however, as Jose Calderon is a handy goal-getter on 2 in 8 NB I 2026/2027 games, although he's not prolific enough to give ZTE a genuine goal-scoring boost.
