There have been some real big battles over recent years with one of Vidi's main rivals. Győri ETO arrive at the Sostoi with a win and defeat from their first two league matches.
Ferenc Horvath's side surprisingly lost their season opening match at the home of Paks by a 2-0 scoreline. They then comfortably beat Honved 3-1 on their home pitch last weekend.
ETO kicked off their 2014-15 season by being involved in the Europa league. Zoltan Liptak and his side lost their home match against Swedish team IFK Gothenburg 3-0. They did manage to win the return leg 1-0, but exited the competition at the Q2 stage.
Győr's main signing over the summer was Tamas Priskin, who was on the subs bench for the first game of the season at Paks. Ferenc Horvath gave him a place in the starting line-up for the second league game with Honved, and he repaid the faith with a headed goal.
There were players who left the club during the summer including 19 year old Zsolt Kalmar, who had made his debut for them at the young age of 17. He made 21 appearances last season in the first division and scored two goals. Kalmar has joined German second division side RB Leipzig, where he will continue his career.

ETO have won the last two league games at the Sostoi stadium by a 1-0 scoreline.
Vidi's last home success over Saturday's opponents came on the 13th May 2012, when goals from Nikolics and Sandor gave the red and blues the win. Sandor's goal proved to be the winning strike in the 90th minute after Koltai had scored earlier for ETO.
