Újpest vs Puskás Academy Prediction: Both sides expected to score

After the departure of Peter Ambrose, Újpest will begin their Hungary NB I journey when they face Puskás Academy at the Szusza Ferenc Stadion on Sunday. Újpest performed below par last season but still managed to avoid relegation. How will they fare this season? Below are previews, H2H, expert betting tips, and odds.

Újpest

Újpest except relegation by just 6 points last season. They finish the season just above the relegation zone. They don’t seem to have found a solution to their squad, as they won just one of their 5 preseason clashes. They were active in the transfer market, adding João Nunes (center-back), Barnabás Bese (right-back), Riccardo Piscitelli (goalkeeper), Levente Babós (center-back), Adrián Dénes (right winger), Bence Gergényi (left-back), Nimród Baranyai (right-back), Dominik Kaczvinszki (center-back) and Mamoudou Karamoko (center-forward) to their squad. However, Peter Ambrose has joined Aberdeen for a fee of around 300,000 euros.

Puskás Academy

Puskás Academy had a superb season last season. They finished third on the table with 55 points. However, they played a draw in all their 3 preseason clashes. On the continental front, they were awarded a 3-0 win over Dnipro-1 in the Conference League qualification quarterfinal. Puskás Academy will rely on their last season’s squad and some of their players who are back from loan to fight in the league. They have not made a new signing yet.

H2H

Both sides have met 20 times since 2019. Újpest won 5, Puskás Academy won 12 and 3 ended in draws. The last game between the two sides ended 2-0 in favor of Ujpest.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the fact that Puskás Academy are not very active in the transfer market, that won't stop them from getting a win here. In previous years, they relied on the strength of their academy to earn points in the league. However, I expect goals from both sides of the net.
