Ujpest vs Nyiregyhaza Prediction & Betting Tips (26 September)

As Ujpest prepare to host Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC in Round 8 of the Hungary NB I season on September 27, the stakes are rising for both sides. Ujpest, currently sitting 7th in the table, have endured a turbulent run with just two wins from their last seven matches. Their recent 1-1 draw against Gyor showed glimpses of resilience, but defensive lapses remain a concern, having conceded in every league match so far. Head coach Nebojsa Vignjevic is under pressure to stabilize the backline, especially with key defender Roland Szolnoki nursing a minor knock. The attacking trio led by Zsombor Nagy will be crucial in breaking down Nyiregyhaza’s shaky defense.

Nyiregyhaza, meanwhile, are struggling to find their footing in the top flight after promotion. With only one win in seven outings and a goal difference of -7, they sit 10th and have failed to score more than once in their last three games. Head coach Gabor Erös has been experimenting with formations, but the lack of cohesion in midfield—particularly from playmaker Ádám Farkas—has stifled their creativity. Their recent 1-2 loss to MTK Budapest exposed vulnerabilities in transition, and with away form faltering, Nyiregyhaza will need a disciplined performance to avoid another setback.

Historically, Ujpest have dominated this fixture, boasting a superior win rate and a more consistent scoring record. At home, they’ve been formidable, netting three goals in each of their last six NB I matches at Szusza Ferenc Stadion. However, their defense remains porous, conceding an average of 1.1 goals per game. Nyiregyhaza, despite their struggles, have shown flashes of counter-attacking threat, particularly through winger Bence Puska, whose pace could trouble Ujpest’s high line. Expect a tactical battle, with Ujpest pressing early and Nyiregyhaza looking to exploit spaces on the break.

Given the current form and statistical trends, a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Ujpest seems a balanced prediction. The hosts are likely to control possession and create more chances, but Nyiregyhaza’s desperation for points could see them snatch a goal, especially late in the game. With both teams conceding regularly and showing attacking intent, this matchup promises drama and goals. Ujpest’s home advantage and sharper frontline should ultimately tip the scales, but not without resistance from a Nyiregyhaza side fighting to prove they belong in the top tier.
