Zalaegerszegi TE vs Ferencvárosi TC Prediction: Both sides will find the net

Zalaegerszeg will welcome Ferencváros to the ZTE-Aréna on Sunday with the hope of getting back on track after a series of previous losses. Previews, H2H, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

Zalaegerszeg are heading into this upcoming clash following a series of three consecutive defeats. Their performance this season has seen them secure only one victory, accompanied by four losses. In their recent match against Ujpest, Csoboth found the net in the early moments, just two minutes into the game. However, Zalaegerszeg managed to equalize through Mim's impressive strike in the 60th minute. Unfortunately, their efforts to level the score were short-lived, as 21-year-old Nigerian talent Peter Ambrose secured the winning goal for Ujpest in the 61st minute.

As of now, Zalaegerszeg find themselves positioned 11th on the league table, having accumulated a total of 3 points from 5 games. Their offensive endeavors have led to scoring 4 goals, but they have also conceded 9 goals, leaving them with a slim 2-point advantage over the bottom of the league. In light of their recent challenges, Zalaegerszeg will be keen to regroup and strive for an improved performance in their upcoming fixture.

In contrast to their opponent, Ferencváros head into this upcoming clash with the momentum of three consecutive victories across all competitions. Their most recent outing saw them secure a commanding 6-1 triumph over Paks, a remarkable scoreline that was actually achieved within the first 45 minutes of the match. A notable highlight from the game was Barnabas Varga's exceptional performance, as he recorded his second hat trick of the season. Varga had previously achieved the same feat against Hamrun in a Europa Conference League qualification match earlier in the season, which also concluded with a 6-1 scoreline. With this outstanding performance, Varga has emerged as a player to watch in the upcoming fixture. Impressively, his contributions have led him to become the joint-top scorer in the league, having netted 4 goals and provided 1 assist in just 3 matches.

Despite having played only 3 games so far this season, largely due to their involvement in continental fixtures, Ferencváros currently occupy the 7th position on the league table. They have amassed 6 points from these matches, displaying an impressive offensive prowess by scoring 12 goals. However, they have conceded 6 goals as well. As they enter this upcoming clash, Ferencváros aim to maintain their winning streak and continue their strong start to the season.

In their recent history spanning from 2020 to the present, Zalaegerszeg and Ferencváros have crossed paths on 11 occasions. Out of these encounters, Zalaegerszeg emerged victorious in 2 matches, while Ferencváros secured victory in 7 encounters. Additionally, the two teams played to a draw in 2 matches. In their most recent clash, which took place in March, Zalaegerszeg managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Ferencváros.

Furthermore, a trend has emerged in their recent encounters, as 5 of the last 6 matches between these teams have seen both teams scoring (BTTS) and over 2.5 goals being scored.

When considering their previous historical performance, it would be smart to place a bet on both teams scoring goals. However, I am of the belief that the visiting team will emerge victorious in the match, thereby maintaining their prevailing influence over the home team.
