Zalaegerszegi TE (home)
- Zalaegerszegi TE’s home form in NB I 2025/2026 has been inconsistent (W3, D3, L4 from 10 games), scoring 1.5 and conceding 1.3 goals per game on average.
- Zalaegerszegi TE’s compact, counter-attacking approach will come up against the relentless pressing style of Ferencvaros in a clash between two of Hungary’s most exciting NB I teams at the ZTE Arena on Saturday.
- ZTE have a solid, pragmatic approach, prioritising defensive structure and quick, direct transitions when in possession.
- Zalaegerszegi TE, who have played in a narrow back three or four most of the campaign, have deployed a pair of wing-backs in recent games to add width, and Alen Skribek, who has scored seven goals in 17 NB I 2025/2026 appearances, has been their most reliable goal threat.
Ferencvaros (away)
- Ferencvaros have an undefeated road record in NB I 2025/2026 (W8, D2 from 10 games), averaging 1.9 goals per game scored and 0.5 goals conceded per game.
- The Irishman has crafted a team that is relentless in the press, fluid in attack and constantly looking to overload the wide areas through their attacking full-backs.
- Ferencvaros come into the game off the back of consecutive wins, a 3-0 home victory against FC Ujpest and a 1-0 away success at Paksi FC, while ZTE have been less consistent, picking up just two wins, two draws and a defeat from their last five matches.
Head-to-Head
- Zalaegerszegi TE caused a big shock three months ago when they beat Ferencvaros 2-1 away from home in NB I 2025/2026, but they have failed to beat Ferencvaros in any of their three previous home encounters.
- Ferencvaros have a psychological advantage in this fixture and cannot afford to drop points if they wish to maintain their domestic and European ambitions.
Key Players
- Alen Skribek, who has scored seven goals in 17 NB I 2025/2026 appearances, has been ZTE’s most reliable goal threat.
- Barnabas Varga is FTC’s top goal-scorer this season with ten goals from 17 NB I 2025/2026 matches, with Mariano Gomez also chipping in recently.
Betting Insights
- Ferencvaros are the clear favorites to take all three points in this contest and with the home team coming in at 4.8 it seems reasonable to assume that the odds are stacked in their favour.
- The Over 2.5 goals line is priced up at 1.62 and with ZTE’s compact nature and FTC’s attacking style, this could be a goal-heavy game.
Prediction
- FTC’s form and strength on the road suggest the away side should get the job done.
- The wide channels are going to be where these two teams make or break this contest and with ZTE in inconsistent form at home, the away team look likely to come away with the win.
