MTK Budapest
- Zalaegerszegi TE go into Saturday’s NB I 2025/2026 clash in excellent form, unbeaten in their last 5 matches in the league, while hosts MTK Budapest come into the fixture looking for their first win in five after a disappointing run.
- Mate Pinezits took the helm at MTK in January 2026, and has tried to instil a possession-based, high-tempo philosophy on the team.
Zalaegerszegi TE
- Nuno Campos took charge of Zalaegerszegi TE in July 2025 and has introduced a pragmatic, structured approach that makes the team tough to break down, and extremely dangerous on the counter.
- The visitors sit third in NB I 2025/2026 with 45 points from 28 games, while their opponents on Saturday are 10th-placed MTK Budapest, with 29 points from the same number of games.
Head-to-Head
- Zalaegerszegi TE have not won in their last 2 trips to MTK Budapest, and this fixture tends to be quite close.
- MTK Budapest and Zalaegerszegi TE drew 1-1 at ZTE’s home turf in the previous clash between these teams in NB I 2025/2026, so a tight game is expected.
Key Players
- Alen Skribek has scored 8 goals in 24 NB I 2025/2026 appearances for Zalaegerszegi TE this term, while Adin Molnar, with 11 goals in 27 appearances, is MTK’s top scorer.
- Joao Victor, meanwhile, has scored 3 in Zalaegerszegi TE’s last 5 unbeaten games, and looks a reliable pick for an anytime goal on Saturday.
Betting Insights
- Zalaegerszegi TE have scored 18 goals in 13 away games in NB I 2025/2026, so they certainly have the firepower to trouble the hosts.
- MTK, meanwhile, have scored 31 times in 14 home games, so should also get plenty of chances to register.
- Backing over 2.5 goals (1.62) and both teams to score (1.48) looks a good way to go, while the 2.5 available for an away win still offers some value.
Prediction
However, the recent form of the sides, and the respective strengths of each approach should see Zalaegerszegi TE get the win.
