Balmazujvaros are the visitors on Saturday evening

Saturday's opponents are battling to climb out of the relegation position.

Our former manager Ferenc Horvath saw his team make a good start to the spring. They drew with Paks before beating DVSC, while also making it to the last 8 of the Hungarian cup after knocking out Puskas Academy. However, they most recently lost 5-0 away to Ferencvaros. That saw them drop back into a relegation place. The NB I squad is valued by transfermarkt.de as the least valuable in the division. Winter signing was Georgian Shindagoridze and Harsanyi, who has played for several first division sides have arrived, as has Gergely Rudolf, who has played for Vidi in the past. Departures included Roland Volent, Adam Kovacs and Adam Orovecz. Top goalscorer with 7 goals to his name is Arabuli, who is valued together with Rudolf, Maisuradze and Habovda at 300,000€ each.

There is not a long history of games between the two teams as Balmazujvaros made their NB I debut is 2017 and the first game followed in July. That first game saw goals from Andrics cancelled out by Lazovic to make the result a draw. Scepovic scored in the 12 game of the season between the two, but Andrics again scored to make it another 1-1 draw. The InStat Company names keeper Gergo Szecsi, with the most points. Captain David Siger and Arabuli follow him. Team of the week has seen Haris, Racz, Andrics and Arabuli (twice) named. Siger has also been named two times in the best team and Lazslo Horvath was another. It is interesting to see that Balmaz have had three keepers make at least four appearances this season.
