Tonight's NB I league game at Újpest sees the hosts welcome Nyíregyháza Spartacus, a match both teams need points from to climb away from mid-table. The hosts have 15 points from 11 games, while the visitors have 11 points from the same number of matches. The table situation gives this game more weight than the standings suggest. Újpest just won in the cup 3-1, but in the league they had gone without a win in the previous three matches. Meanwhile, Nyíregyháza Spartacus are unbeaten in two straight, but those were a draw and a narrow win. Season stats show the hosts have scored 18 and conceded 16 in 11 games, while the visitors have scored 12 and conceded 21 in the same number of matches. The visitors' defense is clearly leakier. In the last 10 games for both sides, possession is about equal (54% vs 54.78%), but Újpest have 5.9 shots on target per game, compared to 6.11 for the visitors from 9 games. The game should be open with exchanges in midfield; the first half may be tight because the hosts often start slowly, but the second half, especially late on when both teams concede frequently, should be when the game breaks open and the hosts have enough to edge it.
