Vasar have the early edge in the NB I 2026/2027
Vasas look the sharper side of Budapest's two main clubs so far in the NB I 2026/2027 campaign, and Budapest Honved FC vs Budapest Vasas SC prediction points to a tight contest. Erős Gábor's men have been in impressive form, going unbeaten in their last 3 league games with a 2-2 home draw with Gyori ETO FC followed by a 0-0 away grind at Ferencvarosi TC and a 5-0 home win over Zalaegerszegi TE. They are yet to taste victory away from home, but Vasas have looked solid and Vasas have already achieved the notable feat of keeping a clean sheet away from home this season (0-0 at Ferencvarosi TC).
Their head-to-head record with Honved favours the home team this Friday, however, as the 11th placed Honved beat the 3rd placed Vasas 3-1 at home three months ago in the NB II 2025/2026. Honved have won the last 2 meetings and have taken 2 of the last 3 home head-to-heads, so the local rivalry has Vasas in the slight shade for this fixture. Budapest Honved FC vs Budapest Vasas SC preview suggests both sides have reasons for optimism.
Honved have been playing a pragmatic style and Vasar have looked good
Maurizio Jacobacci has set up his team in a pragmatic 3-1-4-2 this season. Their low block and compact defending in deep has not been the most entertaining spectacle in Hungary, but they have been hard to break down. They have hit in transition with some sharp vertical movements and have been getting some great results as a result.
The hosts come into this having drawn their last 3 in a row (1-1 at Kisvarda FC, 3-3 at home to MTK Budapest and 2-2 at Paksi FC in NB I 2026/2027) and are inconsistent overall with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 in all current competitions. That's not a run that inspires much confidence and they've looked shaky at the back, so the back line will have to be solid at Bozsik Arena on Friday.
Vasas' system is built around a back-four with high work rate and an ability to recover. The game plan is simple, but effective, as they will flood the middle of the park and look to win the 50-50's and 2nd balls. Jozef Urblik looks to be the Vasas' dangerman this term with 3 goals in 3 NB I 2026/2027 appearances, whilst Dominik Csontos has been Honved's spark with 2 goals in 3 NB I 2026/2027 matches. Urblik has scored 4 of the club's last 10 goals in the last 5 matches, whilst Csontos has 3. Our Budapest Honved FC vs Budapest Vasas SC prediction is that midfield battles could decide the outcome, and Budapest Honved FC vs Budapest Vasas SC betting tips lean toward a low-scoring game.
The draw looks likely between two solid teams
