The big derby match with Ferencvaros on Sunday

The top two teams in the OTP league come face-to-face on Sunday at the MOL Arena Sosto. 

Ferencvaros have found the OTP Bank League 2019-20 season a little bit chaotic so far. The green and whites had to postpone their first two league games before beating Kaposvar by a slender 1-0 win in the NB I. They then suffered a 4-1 reverse a week later away at Puskas Academy. Next up was a 1-0 win over DVTK at home after playing most of the game with ten men. Paks were defeated next at home 4-0. The rearranged game with ZTE followed and two very late goals saw them come from behind to win 2-1.

It was a similar story as they won by the single goal against Kisvarda. The Budapest derby game with Honved ended without any goals whole most recently they beat Ujpest 1-0. At the same time they are involved in the Europa League group stage and have already drawn away at Espanyol in the first group match. They then went down 3-0 at home to Ludogorets. Their squad is valued by transfermarkt.de at 19,33 million euros. Highest valued player is Isael at 1,8 million euros. He is followed by Blazic and Kharatin on 1,5 million each. Tokmac, Dvali and Civic are all valued over the million mark. Current top goalscorer with 6 to his name is Tokmac. He also leads the Canadian Table with 9 points. Summer signing Zubkov follows with 8 (3+5). Many players have been given the chance so far in 2019-20 with 26 different players pulling on the FTC shirt. Blazic has played the most with 1530 minutes in his legs. Zubkov is next with 1393 while keeper Dibusz is on 1350 minutes. Manager Szerhij Rebrov has had to do without injured Dvali for a while but he does not have any players out suspended.
