Vidi make the visit to Ferencvaros in match 21 of the season

The top two meet in Budapest on Saturday evening with 3 important points up for offer.

Match 21 of the OTP league season sees MOL Fehervar FC make the visit to the Groupama Arena to play leaders Ferencvaros. The game on Saturday 15th February will kick off at 19:30pm 

The green and whites have played three times instead of the four so far in 2020. Those have resulted in a 4-0 win over Paks, 2-1 against Kisvarda and a 0-0 draw away at Honved. Their derby match with Ujpest was postponed last weekend and that means that they have played two games less than the other clubs. 

Four new faces arrived over the winter: Rego Szantho came in from ETO while Balint Vecsei arrived from Lugano. Gaston Lodico made the move from Argentinian side Lanus. Finally former player Somalia returned from Saudi side Al-Shabab. Those four have so far played in 89 minutes of league football in 2020. Departures included Danylo Ihnatenko who returned to Shakhtar. Tamas Priskin became an ETO player. 

The FTC squad is valued by transfermarkt.de at 24,23 million euros. Somalia is the highest valued player at 2 million euros with Isael just behind in on 1,8 million. Miha Blazic has played the most minutes in the NB I so far with 1530 to his name. The central defender has played throughout the 17 games from 18. He is followed by Kharatin on 1271 and Zubkov with 1218. FTC have nine players that have played at least 1000 minutes this season. Top goalscorer is Zubkov with 7 to his name. However, Isael leads the Canadian table with 6+5 ahead of Tokmac Nguen with 5+5.

Ferencvaros do not have any players out missing from the big game on Saturday through suspension. Lasha Dvali has been out for a while with an injury. Otigba Kenneth returned in 2020 following a long time out and he has played in all of the games this year so far.
