Debrecen under Remmel
Gert Remmel has overseen Debrecen since 1st July 2026 and his side have a higher tempo and are more aggressive than his predecessor, preferring to press opponents and counter attack whenever they can.
- They've taken 5 points from their last 5 games (W1, D2, L2) and their most recent matches were a 0-0 draw away to Pyunik Yerevan in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and a 4-2 defeat away to FC Ujpest in NB I 2026/2027.
- They've also taken 5 points from their last 5 NB I 2026/2027 matches (W1, D2, L2) and their most recent outings have seen them lose 2-0 away to Wolfsberger Athletik Club in a Friendly Club Match 2026, win 2-1 at home to FC Ujpest in NB I 2026/2027 and then lose 4-0 away to Gyori ETO FC in NB I 2026/2027.
Nyiregyhaza under Bodog
Tamas Bodog has been in charge of Nyiregyhaza since 29th October 2025 and his team are true to a compact, physical, high-tempo blueprint that is based on making the game ugly for the opposition.
A derby-like clash that could get tight
Although Debrecen should be more comfortable playing at home, the 5-game head-to-head record (W2, D1, L2) and both teams' poor form to date (Debrecen have lost their only home league game in NB I 2026/2027, scoring 0.00 and conceding 2.00 per match whilst Nyiregyhaza have also lost their only away league game in NB I 2026/2027, scoring 0.00 and conceding 4.00 per match) suggests that this game could get close.
With the odds slightly favouring the hosts at 2.24 compared to the visitors at 2.83 and the draw at 3.34, we're going for over 2.5 goals at 1.77 and both teams to score at 1.61. There will be goals, but a 1-1 draw or small home win look very appealing. Akos Szendrei (1/2) is Debrecen's main goal threat after 1 goal in 2 NB I 2026/2027 appearances, whilst Marko Kvasina (1/2) leads the scoring for Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC with 1 goal in 2 NB I 2026/2027 and 2 in their last 5-game run.
