Ujpest vs Ferencvaros Prediction & Betting tips
The Hungarian NB I should actually choose its master these days. Due to the compulsory break, the current season will drag on until the end of June, similar to Germany. Despite the interruption, there are many indications that the reigning champion will defend his title. Of course, we’re talking about Ferencvaros, for whom the second competitive game is scheduled for Wednesday within a few days.
As part of a catch-up game on match day 20, Ujpest meets Ferencvaros. The odds of the best bookmakers are in the direction of the guests, who are certainly building on the advantage of already having the first three after the break at the weekend. For the home side, however, it is the first endurance test after the two-month break.
The upcoming duel is even more explosive due to the derby character. Both clubs are based in the capital, Budapest, and see themselves as major rivals. A comparison as between Austria and Rapid Vienna will be made, especially since the opponents have the same club colors purple-white and green-white. There have also been violent clashes between the hostile fan camps in recent years.
When the whistle sounds at 19:00 p.m. in the Szusza Ferenc Stadium on Wednesday evening, the Ujpest against Ferencvaro’s forecast should therefore be taken into account that logically no spectators are allowed to sit in the stands. This leads us to believe that the leader in the second weakest home team on the Hungarian Beletage, which is certainly of higher quality, will have a good chance of winning the next three.
Ujpest:
With 20 championships and ten cup wins, the Ujpest Football Club is undoubtedly one of the most successful clubs that Hungarian football has. The purple-whites once dueled in the European Cup with Newcastle United or FC Bayern Munich. The big times are now behind the capital club, which last won the league title in 1998.
After finishing fifth in the final accounts last season, coach Nebojsa Vignevic’s team has even had to seriously fear relegation this season. With nine games to go, the traditional club in ninth place has just a tiny point ahead of the relegation zone. However, the train has long since departed towards international ranks.
For Budapest, the last quarter of the season is all about relegation. To what extent the forced break helped the team to get back on track has to be seen. In any case, the first competitive game after over two months is a tough one. Ujpest Ferencvaros awaits in the hate derby. A tip on the host must be described as extremely daring in that there is currently hardly any worse home team in Hungary than the purple and white.
In ten games in front of their own fans, the former champion has so far only collected a meager eleven points. Three wins face two draws and five defeats. In addition, no other first division team scored fewer home goals than the Vignevic team (ten). The fans who dropped out hardly played a role, as Ujpest never played in the home stadium all season and there was also a fan boycott.
The personnel situation doesn’t change that either, because compared to the sheer overwhelming opponent, the purple and white have at most an average squad. Added to this is the departure of Robert Feczesin, who marked almost a quarter of all goals scored by the relegation candidate (eight out of 31) in the first half of the season, but moved back to the second division in winter. The second-best shooter Novothny has just four törchen, which impressively underlines the offensive weakness of the ninth.
Ferencvaros:
In Germany, Ferencvaros is mostly associated with the Thomas Doll personnel. The former Bundesliga professional and international experienced his most successful era as a coach in the Hungarian capital. Overall, the 54-year-old won five titles, became champion, won three cups and was also named coach of the year.
Only one day after his dismissal in August 2018, which came as a surprise to many due to the lead in the standings, Sergiy Rebrov, the successor, was introduced. The former legend of Dynamo Kiev has now sat on the bench in 76 competitive games, scoring over two points on average. In his first year, the ex-Ukrainian international confidently won the championship with his new club.
The 45-year-old is aiming for the same again in 2020. However, defending the title will not be a sure-fire success, because at the time of the interruption the currently probably best team in the country was just three points ahead of the hardest pursuer Fehervar. However, the green-whites had to be given credit for the fact that they still had two games in hand.
One of them was already victorious last weekend. At home against Debrecen, the favorite didn’t spill glory, but ultimately celebrated a deserved 2-1 win. In terms of game practice, the leader is already one step ahead of the arch-rival, which has a lasting impact on our Ujpest against Ferencvaro’s forecast for the guest.
It should also be noted that the defending champion is doing really well away. Seven wins in eleven guest appearances (two draws, two bankruptcies) and the best offensive (two goals on average) are decent values, which in our eyes make another three in a foreign country very likely.
In terms of personnel, Rebrov has access to all service providers. The offensive in particular has a lot to offer with Boli, Zubkov, Isael and Nguen. Together, the quartet scored almost as many goals (28) as the entire Ujpest team (31).
