Key Players

- Daniel Lukacs is the team’s most prolific player with 11 league goals in 19 appearances.
- Zsolt Nagy has chipped in with 2 of the 5 goals they have scored in their last 5 games.

Betting Insights
- FC Ujpest head into this Saturday’s clash as slight favorites at 2.28, with the visitors at 2.82 and the draw 3.4.
- Puskas are more balanced in away matches, scoring 1.33 and conceding 1.22 goals.
- The Both Teams To Score market is very short at 1.5 and it's worth taking at that price because these teams are both better going forward than at the back and the evidence suggests they are liable to score and concede goals at the same time.
Prediction
- This game will be a good test of Ujpest’s new approach in 2025-2026 under Bodor as they come up against Puskas’ well-established possession, width and overlap game.
- I think the hosts will get the better of this match at home, but I’m taking Puskas’ away form and possession game to see them through.
