Puskas FC Academy
- Puskas have won three of their last five matches, losing the other two, including a 1-0 away win over Ujpest three days ago.
- Puskas FC Academy are the favorites at 1.94 to beat Zalaegerszegi TE in a close game on Sunday, but the visitors are not such a bad price at 3.55 to win this one.
- Zsolt Hornyak’s side have enjoyed a solid start to life in Hungary’s top-tier, with their solid structure and pressing game yielding 31 points from 20 games, enough to put them fifth in the table.
Zalaegerszegi TE
- ZTE are a different proposition this year under the relatively new stewardship of Nuno Campos, who has turned the Zalaegerszegi side into a more direct and aggressive team since his appointment.
- They play a vertical, counter-attacking style that can be dangerous in transition, but they can be vulnerable to pressure if they are pinned back for long periods.
- ZTE have been solid away from home recently, avoiding defeat in their last three trips with two wins and a draw.
Head-to-Head
- Puskas are fifth in NB I 2025/2026 with 31 points from 20 matches, ZTE are seventh with 27 points from the same number of games.
- But they have failed to win in their previous two trips to Puskas FC Academy.
Key Players
- Daniel Lukacs is their main weapon in this respect, top-scoring with 11 goals in 20 NB I 2025/2026 appearances.
- Zsolt Nagy is enjoying a hot streak in front of goal, bagging two of Puskas’s last five goals.
- Alen Skribek is their most prolific forward with seven goals in 16 appearances in NB I 2025/2026 and always looks a threat up front.
Betting Insights
The Over 2.5 goals option at 1.8 is well worth a small bet given the contrasting styles of these two teams might make for an open game.
Prediction
- Our selection of Puskas to edge a tight game on Sunday is based on the fact they have had a full season of structured coaching under Hornyak and have the home advantage while ZTE are still evolving under their new boss.
- The visitors have won four, tied three and lost only three of their 10 away games in NB I 2025/2026, scoring 15 goals at an average of 1.5 per match.
