Zalaegerszegi TE vs Kisvárda Prediction: Both sides ready to start superbly

As the long-awaited Hungarian league gets back on stage, will travel to the ZTE-Aréna to take on Zalaegerszegi in a much-anticipated match on Sunday. Previews, H2H, expert tips, and odds are provided below.

Zalaegerszegi TE are determined to improve their performance after suffering a 1-0 defeat in the Conference League Qualifiers against NK Osijek. In the first leg, they had hoped for a crucial away draw, but a late 91st-minute goal from Ramon Mierez dashed their chances. Despite finishing 9th in the previous season with 39 points in 33 games, they managed to secure a successful campaign by winning the league cup, which led to their qualification for the UEFA Conference League qualifying rounds. Ahead of their next game, they have shown promising form in the preseason, with just one loss and three wins, along with one draw.

Kisvárda, who secured a 6th-place finish last season, are aiming to clinch a continental competition spot in the upcoming season. As they head into this match, they carry positive momentum, being unbeaten in their last three games with two victories and one draw. During their preseason preparations, they had mixed results, losing two of their six friendly matches but managing to win three and draw one.

Looking back to 2021, the head-to-head record between Zalaegerszegi TE and Kisvárda shows that Kisvárda have been more successful, winning three matches compared to Zalaegerszegi TE's one, while two matches ended in draws. Throughout these encounters, a total of 15 goals were scored, with Zalaegerszegi TE contributing 5 goals and Kisvárda producing 10 goals. On average, there were 2.5 goals per game.

Both sides look fresh coming into this clash, so I expect both of them to score but the first half might witness a very close game.
