Újpest FC

LLLWL

Újpest suffered yet another defeat in their last game, losing 1-0 to Kecskemét, with Dániel Lukács opening the scoring just 3 minutes into the game. Újpest had a golden opportunity to draw level in the 50th minute, but Heinz Morschel's shot was saved by Bence Varga, Kecskemét's goalkeeper, who ended the game with 6 saves to secure the 1-0 victory.

Ferencváros

LWWWW

Ferencváros will now shift their attention to domestic action after being eliminated from the Europa Conference League knockout stage by Olympiacos, with a 2-0 aggregate score. Back in the league, they will focus on retaining the title, as they currently sit 2nd on the table with 42 points in 20 games. They have scored 52 goals, the most in the league, and conceded 22, the least in the league. They are just 1 point behind Paks, who are at the top of the table but have played 1 game more than Ferencváros.

Barnabás Varga has been an exceptional player for Ferencváros this season, especially in the absence of Kenan Kodro for some time. Both players are the top 2 scorers in the league this season, with Varga scoring 13 goals and Kodro having 11 to his name.
