Videoton take on Vasas on Saturday in the OTP league at the Sostoi stadium.
The Budapest club will play Videoton in the first division for the 87th time on Saturday. The two first met in the top division on the 3rd March 1968. That game was played in Angyalfold, with Vasas emerging 6-1 winners. Vidi's goal that day came from Laszlo Csukovics. The 85 matches have seen 30 wins for Videoton. Vasas have come out winners in 25 games while the remaining 30 have been drawn. Vidi enjoy a better goalscoring record with 123 goals scored and 111 conceded.
The match at Fay Utca will be the 43rd between the two in Budapest. Vasas have won 21 of those with 14 drawn and 7 resulting in Videoton wins. It is interesting to see that 5 of those 7 wins have been achieved since 2000. Vidi were only able to win once in Budapest between 1968 and 2000. Vidi have lost just once over the last 15 years and that came in a 4-1 defeat on the 1st November 2008.
There have been 43 games between the two sides in Szekesfehervar. A very good record on the home pitch has meant that Vasas have only won four times in all league matches. However, Vidi have won 23 games and the remaining 16 have been drawn. The goal difference reads 79-38 in Vidi's favour. Vasas last managed to win at the Sostoi on the 21st April 2001. Current Vidi coach Tamas Peto scored the only goal for Vasas in that win.
The last Vidi - Vasas
The last league match between the two at the Sostoi saw Videoton record a good 4-1 win. That was back in 2012 with Vasas scoring the opening goal after 6 minutes, before Vidi came back to hit four goals.
Vidi will meet with the Budapest side for the 87th time in the top division on Saturday. The first league match between the two was played back on the 3rd March 1968.
(Videoton won 4-2 at the home of Vasas in 2009. The home side had led 2-1 until the 82nd minute.)
