Kaposvar visit the MOL Arena Sosto on Saturday

Saturday's opponents are currently in bottom place in the OTP league table.

Kaposvar were playing NB III football two years ago and were promoted to the NB II. They then moved up to the top league in very quick time. However, they are currently in bottom place. The 22 games played so far have produced points from just 4 of them. They are currently in the middle of a run of 5 defeats and have not picked up a point in February. They have also managed to score in just one game and that was three goals in a 5-3 defeat to Kisvarda. They were knocked out of the Hungarian Cup by Mezokovesd over two legs last week. Several players with limited match time left the club during the winter. Those included Zsiga, Tomosvari, Beliczky, Vojnovic, Poplatnik and Markovic.

Arrivals were Palic from Sheriff Tiraspol, Tarasovs from Latvian side Spartak and former Vidi player Trebotic from Dinamo Minsk. Aurel Farkas came in from Csakvar, Laszlo Laky from PAFC as well as Adam Pinter and Zsombor Bevardi from DVSC. Their squad is valued by transfermarkt.de at 4,05m euros. That is the least out of all NB I sides. Top goalscorer is Adam Martin with 5 goals to his name. The Canadian Table sees Richard Nagy on 7. Adam has also played the most minutes this season (1764), with Attila Szakaly behind him on 1713. Csaba Vachtler follows on 1692. Our opponents do not have anyone missing through suspension but they will have to do without third choice keeper Mark Bonnyai. Kaposvar include Laszlo Laky, Tamas Nagy, Marcell Fodor, Csaba Vachtler, Zsombor Bevardi and Dinko Trebotic among those with former Vidi links.
