Zalaegerszegi TE
- Zalaegerszegi TE sit 12th with 3 points.
- Zalaegerszegi TE are on a 4-match losing streak following home and away defeats to Ferencváros, Győri ETO and Kispest Honvéd.
- Zete have won only one of their two home games in NB I 2026-2027 (2.50 scored, 1.50 conceded), a defeat to Győri ETO.
Puskás FC Academy
- Puskás FC Academy are NB I 2026-2027 leaders with 12 points from 6 games.
- Puskás FC Academy are on a 3-match winning streak away from home (NB I 2026/2027) and have scored 6 goals in their 3 away games.
- The Puskas Academy are a possession-based team, but Babo has got them to play with a pragmatic streak and enough structure to build up from the back and remain solid defensively when they don't have the ball.
- This is a real tactical clash and it's hard to say that either side has the advantage on that basis alone.
Head-to-Head
- The recent head-to-head does give a slight edge to PAFC, who have won three of the last five and have won two of the last three visits to ZTE.
- The most recent meeting in NB I 2025/2026 was won 3-1 by the away side, which should remind Zalaegerszeg that they can be exposed on the counter.
Key Players
- Alen Skribek (3 assists in 3 NB I 2026/2027 appearances).
- Jose Calderon (2 goals in 6 NB I 2026/2027).
Betting Insights
- Babo's team are rated at 2.22, while Zalaegerszegi TE are 2.68 and the draw is 3.6.
- Our selection is to take the draw and back Both Teams to Score at 1.45 because both teams will be eager for the win, so there should be opportunities for both sides to get on the scoresheet.
- Over 2.5 goals at 1.53 is also a touch high for a game that could still be a tight contest.
Prediction
The market is right to favour the visitors, but we think it's still fairly close for these two in terms of the likely outcome of their NB I 2026/2027 clash.
