MTK Budapest FC vs Ferencváros Prediction: Both sides will see the net

MTK Budapest will face the biggest test of the season when they host defending champions Ferencváros at the Hidegkuti Nándor Stadion on Saturday. Previews, H2H, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

DWWWW

MTK Budapest are in outstanding form, having won their last five matches across all competitions, including a recent 2-0 victory over Ujpest. Istvan Bognar opened the scoring in the 25th minute, marking his third consecutive league goal, while Krisztian Nemeth added a second goal in the 71st minute. MTK Budapest dominated the match, with 62% possession, 19 goal attempts, and 8 shots on goal.

Despite their recent promotion from the second division, MTK Budapest have been impressive at home, remaining unbeaten in their last 11 home games across all competitions from April to the present. Currently, they sit in second place on the table with 14 points from 7 games, having scored 10 goals and conceded just 5, the fewest in the league. Their strong defensive record has contributed to their excellent start to the season.

LWWWW

Ferencváros are also in exceptional form, currently riding a nine-game winning streak across all competitions. In their recent match against Kecskemeti, they displayed dominance with 62% possession, 21 goal attempts, and 6 shots on target. However, they had to wait until the 72nd minute for David Siger to break the deadlock.

Ferencváros look formidable, occupying the top spot in the league with 15 points from 6 games. They have scored 20 goals, the most in the league while conceding 8. With a one-point lead and one game in hand, they are well-positioned to defend their league title. Their impressive goal-scoring record and overall performance make them a force to be reckoned with this season.

Ferencváros have held the upper hand in their recent encounters with MTK Budapest, with a record of 5 wins, 1 win for MTK Budapest, and 4 draws in the last 10 matches dating back to 2017. However, it's worth noting that MTK Budapest managed to secure a convincing 3-0 victory in their most recent meeting during the 2021-22 season.

Despite MTK Budapest's strong form, it seems that Ferencváros, the visiting team, is in even better form. MTK Budapest may struggle to secure a win in this match. The game will be a fascinating contest between two teams in good form, and I believe both sides will find the net.
