A Puskas Academy side battling to avoid the drop visit the MOL Arena Sosto

MOL Vidi FC play their one but final home league match of the current season on Saturday.

Puskas Academy have occupied the 9th position in the OTP league since the 29th September. This is despite PAFC having the third highest valued squad in the first division according to transfermark.de at the start of the season, which now sees them in fourth place. They have never been above 8th although they came very close several times to moving in either direction. Highest valued player is current top goalscorer Josip Knezevic who is valued at 700,000€. The young but already routine 18 year old Tamas Kiss is closely behind with a 600,000€ price tag. Osijek loanee Benedik Mioc has a value of 550,000€.

The already mentioned Knezevic has scored 9 times but has not added to that with assists. However, that is still enough for him to lead the Canada Table. Arabuli has 5+3 and is just behind. There has been two changes to the Felcsut club since the beginning of March. They signed Panamanian international Tony Taylor on the 11th March and split with former manager Janos Radoki on the 6th April following the defeat to Kisvarda. His place has been taken over temporarily by Andras Komjati. The former manager steered his team to a 0-0 draw at Paks in the first game in charge. It is interesting to see that from the players of the Puskas Academy in 2019, out of 10 matches, InStat chose two of their players for the team of the week once, following the 2-0 win over DVSC. They were Zsolt Nagy and Josip Knezevic. Keeper Danilovic, who has not played regularly this season but Bulgarian Kamen Hadzhiev is on 239, with former Vidi player Jozsef Varga just behind with 238 points.
