Two compact sides to face off in Hungary
Home team
This Friday's game between Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC and FC Ujpest at theVarosi Stadion in Hungary could be a battle of the compact formations, with the home team favouring a 4-4-2 base. The hosts have been a pretty tough nut to crack in recent weeks and their last three results were a 1-1 away draw against MTK Budapest in NB I 2025/2026, a 2-2 home draw against Kazincbarcika BSC in NB I 2025/2026 and a 2-0 away defeat against Wolfsberger AC in a friendly.
The style ofTamás Bódog's men is to get men behind the ball and then press and counter.
Ujpest side
Ujpest have a more structured setup andZoltan Szelesi's men play an attack-first game with a lot of movement off the ball, wide overloads and quick combinations through the channels. The main spark in the Ujpest side has been Krisztofer Horvath, the diminutive forward has three goals in his last five appearances and he has been the main source of Ujpest's attacking output during that period.
Ujpest to edge this one at home
Nyiregyhaza have a solid home record of W3, D1, L1 in all competitions this season, but they will struggle to get anything from this game if they do not win the midfield battles.
Their press-to-counter approach gives them a bite, but it also leaves them vulnerable if the first press is bypassed.
The game will probably be close and the current odds certainly suggest that, but we'll side with Nyiregyhaza to just edge it at home.
- Ujpest have been blunt away from home lately, posting W1, D1, L3 in their last five away in all competitions.
- But they have scored five times in those five games, so they usually find a way to land a punch on the road, which could be enough to win this one.
- Over 2.5 goals is well-priced at 1.69 and Both Teams to Score – Yes also looks a good play at 1.6.
