NextGOAL tip: Zalaegerszegi TE (level) · 3 stars
A mid-table clash in NB I, with both Zalaegerszegi TE and MTK needing points to climb out of the lower half of the table. The hosts have 10 points from 11 matches, while the visitors have 12 points from the same number of games. The two teams therefore come into this in very similar circumstances. Zalaegerszegi TE have just won 3-1 in the cup and are unbeaten in 2 straight, but their overall league form is still not settled. Defensively they have conceded 22 goals, the same as MTK, who have been slightly more productive going forward. The hosts average 6.44 shots on target per game over their last 10, while MTK average 6.89 shots on target per game. The numbers are so close that it suggests this game will be fought out in the middle. MTK lost 0-5 in the league before bouncing back with a 5-1 cup win. Their form is clearly up and down, but they still score regularly away from home. The game is likely to be open from the start, as both sides concede in the second half at a similar rate. The first thing to watch is how tightly Zalaegerszegi TE can set up defensively when MTK push forward.
