Kecskemeti TE

Predictions & Betting Tips

Paksi FC are in a class of their own

György Bognar has instilled a bold and exciting attacking philosophy at Paksi FC since taking charge in February 2023 and his team’s home form is good enough to suggest they will take the points on Friday. Our Paksi FC vs Kecskemeti TE prediction is based on the fact that Paksi have won ten, drawn three and lost only two of their 15 previous home matches in the NB I in 2024/2025. Bognar’s men have not won in their last two at home, however, drawing 0-0 with Debrecen after losing 2-3 to Ferencvaros, which is very out of character for a team that plays a high-tempo, direct style and will press their opponents relentlessly from a 4-2-3-1. Paksi are clear favorites at -166 to take the win on Friday, with the visitors as long shots at +370. Zoltan Gera took over as Kecskemeti TE coach in October 2024 and has an enormous task on his hands to get his team out of trouble. This Paksi FC vs Kecskemeti TE preview points out that they sit 12th in the NB I 2024/2025 table with only 24 points from 32 games and are in grave danger of being relegated to the second tier.

Kecskemeti TE are not a bad side, just a bad away side

KEK are winless in their past five, having drawn three and lost two, and in their recent matches they recorded a 2-2 home draw at Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC and a 2-1 away defeat at MTK Budapest. They were then edged 0-1 at home by Puskas FC Academy, which was no disgrace given the opposition. Gera is trying to get his side to play with a measured approach and press opponents in the right areas, but he is yet to engineer a result. His best player is Zoran Lesjak, who usually anchors the defense and is often the key to his side’s possession-based build-up, even if the home fans are on their feet. KEK do not have the pace or physical presence to match Paksi's direct pace and their 4-3-3 formation lends itself to controlled and patient play. However, for this Paksi FC vs Kecskemeti TE prediction, it’s important to note that they do have some goals in them and their dangerman Daniel Lukacs has netted five times in 28 NB I matches, which is a decent tally for a struggling team.

Visitors have a leaky defense

Paksi FC’s dangerman is Daniel Bode, who has hit 14 NB I goals in 30 appearances this season, including two in the last five. Attila Hahn is the physical presence that his club needs in midfield, winning plenty of tackles and getting the ball moving forward on the transition. Although this is not a big rivalry game, there are plenty of interesting factors that make it a tactical chess match for Hungarian fans. The previous meeting was a 2-2 draw at Kecskemeti TE's ground in NB I 2024/2025 and it’s worth noting that Paksi were unable to put the game away, which is a strange occurrence for Bognar’s side. The Paksi FC vs Kecskemeti TE prediction is that Kecskemeti TE have conceded 2.00 goals per game on the road this season while scoring only 0.80, so this could be a very difficult game for them. For those interested in Paksi FC vs Kecskemeti TE betting tips, Paksi are on a mission to catch the European places and will not let up for a second against relegation-threatened Kecskemeti TE, so we are taking the -166 odds in favour of the home side.
