Lilák can lock down Paksi's attacking play
Paksi FC enter Friday's Hungarian NB I contest at Fehervari uti Stadion as odds-on favorites against FC Ujpest, but the visitors are certainly capable of taking a point. This Paksi FC vs FC Ujpest preview highlights how Gyorgy Bognar has made Paksi into a fluid, free-flowing unit since taking over on 14 February 2023. The side play with an attack-first, transition-heavy style from the back three and the wing-backs push them into the game when they have the ball. They play a similar style to the Dutch national side, but have a big target man to aim for in the box and Jozsef Szalai has shown himself to be their main man in the game with four goals from his first three NB I 2026/2027 appearances.
Lilák can grab a result in a tight game
Paksi's form has been erratic since the season started, with a 5-2 defeat at Zalaegerszegi TE and 2-2 draw at home to Budapest Honved FC following the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 2-2 draw with Panathinaikos away.
Ujpest should be able to keep this close by setting up with a medium-to-low block and not rushing their play from the first line of defense. Zoltan Szelesi has been in charge since 31 December 2025 and has instilled a more pragmatic ethos in the club since then.
Aljosa Matko has two goals in his four NB I 2026/2027 games, but Etienne Amenyido has been the key for the Lilák with three assists in the same number of appearances, to keep the pace going.
The last head-to-head meeting in NB I 2025/2026 finished 0-0 at Ujpest's home and these sides drew one and each won one of the last three. Ujpest have a better form book to come into this contest with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five games in all competitions.
They beat Kisvarda FC 4-2 in their second away game of the campaign and drew 1-1 at home to MTK Budapest last time out, so they have a good record of nicking results on the road. A similar result is on the cards here as Paksi have won one and drawn one of their home matches.
Both teams to score is worth considering in the live betting at 1.52, but with Szelesi's men trying to lock down the Paksi offensive, under 2.5 goals at 2.47 could also pay off in a closely-fought game. For those looking for Paksi FC vs FC Ujpest prediction, the draw looks a sensible angle.
Our Paksi FC vs FC Ujpest prediction is that both sides could cancel each other out again in a low-scoring contest.
