Vidi and Honved meet for the 105th time on Saturday in the league. The match, which kicks off at 17:00pm, also sees the second half of the league season begin. The 104 matches between the two clubs have resulted in Honved winning 46 with 18 drawn.

Our opponents on Saturday started the season with four defeats in the league. However, they went on a good run of 5 wins during October and November. Those included wins over ZTE (1-0), and against Puskas Academy (2-1). They also defeated Kaposvar (2-0), DVTK (1-0) and Paks (2-1) at their temporary home ground of the New Hidegkuti Stadium. It is interesting to note that all of those five wins included a goal in each match from Davide Lanzafame. 

We kicked off the 2019-20 season with six wins and no other side has managed such a run of wins this season including league leaders Ferencvaros. In fact it is Honved with their five consecutive wins that sit behind Vidi in this category.

It is Vidi that have collected more yellows with a total of 48 against Honved's 37. Both teams currently have a top goalscorer with 7 goals. The team from Budapest have Davide Lanzafame leading with 7 to his name, which is the same as both Futacs and Hodzic from Vidi.
