Head-to-Head

Key Players

• MTK have netted six times on the road this season and will be desperate to increase that total on Saturday.
• Alen Skribek is their main forward and has seven goals in 13 appearances in the league this season.
• Adin Molnar leads the line for MTK Budapest with the same tally of seven goals, but he has played in 17 league matches and carries his side’s main attacking threat.

Betting Insights

• Both teams scoring is very strongly priced at 1.48, so an open game is expected.
• Zalaegerszegi TE are the favorite to win at 2.03, with MTK Budapest out of favour at 3.16 and the draw at 3.44.
• ZTE score an average of 1.75 goals per home match and concede an average of 1.38, while MTK have scored just 0.75 goals per away match.

Prediction

• Both teams to score should be the selection, but ZTE have the momentum and are the more likely to win as MTK have failed to earn a single point in their last three away games.
• This is a clash of a low-block, counter-punching side against a possession-based side and the transitions could be key to the outcome.
