Ujpest
- It's difficult to pick a winner for this match between two relatively young teams in NB I 2026-2027, with Ujpest currently 4th and Vasas 2nd after 5 games with 7 and 8 points respectively.
- Zoltan Szelesi has been in charge since 31st December 2025 and is trying to bed in a pragmatic 4-4-2 which packs the midfield and defends compactly.
- Aljosa Matko has been the lila-fehérek's main goal-getter with 2 goals in 5 NB I 2026/2027 matches, but Etienne Amenyido's 3 assists and ability to create chaos from set-pieces has been the spark for Ujpest.
Vasas
- Vasas have been unbeaten away from home in NB I 2026/2027, with 1 win and 1 draw from 2 trips, but they've only scored 2 away goals in 2026/2027 and average just 1.00 per game on their travels.
- Budapest Vasas SC have been more enterprising under Erős, employing possession-based positional soccer with flexible 4-3-3 and 3-4-3 shapes and a roaming playmaker role for Jozef Urblik, who has 3 goals in 5 NB I 2026/2027 outings.
- He's also been responsible for 3 of Vasas' last 9 goals - coming from the bench and scoring 3 in the last 5 - so should be closely watched by the Ujpest defenders on Saturday.
- This should be an interesting tactical matchup with Vasas looking to stretch a low Ujpest block and the hosts looking to pinch it on the break or from set-pieces.
Head-to-Head
Ujpest have the edge in the head-to-head, winning 1 and drawing 1 of the last 2 meetings, the most recent clash finishing 1-1 in NB I 2022/2023.

Prediction
We're going for a home win in the final result market, but the BTTS - Yes price of 1.46 is also attractive given both teams have been open in attack.
