Puskas FC Academy

vs

Diosgyor VTK

Predictions & Betting Tips

Contrast in styles should make for an interesting game

Puskas FC Academy have won two consecutive victories in the NB I. Zsolt Hornyak’s side have been a structured and proactive unit since he took over in July 2019 and this season’s team have been no different. The Academy sit second in the NB I 2024/2025 standings with 63 points from 32 games, but they are firmly in the race for Europe. Puskas play a patient, high-tempo passing style, usually in 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, that involves pressing high up the field when they have the ball and keeping it when they do. Their most recent outing saw them beat Debrecen impressively by 4-2 at home while their previous match saw them grind out a 1-0 win at Kecskemeti TE. The Puskas FC Academy vs Diosgyor VTK prediction is tough to call, as Puskas have only conceded one goal per game at their home field in the NB I, which shows how they have tightened up at the back and have kept the ball well under Hornyak’s guidance.

Diosgyor VTK looking for consistency

Diosgyor VTK sit sixth in the NB I 2024/2025 table with 44 points after 32 games and have yet to settle on a consistent style or position in the standings. Valdas Dambrauskas took over in February 2025 and has made them much more solid and dangerous on the break, playing with a 4-4-2 or 5-3-2. The visitors have had some good results but have drawn two and lost two of their most-recent five NB I outings, beating MTK Budapest 2-1 at their place after a 2-2 home draw with Zalaegerszeg and a 1-0 away defeat to Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC. This Puskas FC Academy vs Diosgyor VTK preview highlights that Diosgyor VTK score on average 1.27 goals per away game in the NB I 2024/2025, but concede 1.67 on average, which is a concern for this trip. Marko Rakonjac has been in great form for the visitors recently, netting twice in Diosgyor’s last five NB I contests, keeping the firepower going for his side. But Zsolt Nagy is the main threat for the hosts, having bagged 12 goals in 31 NB I appearances this campaign, while Jonathan Levi has chipped in with three in his last five.

Home advantage should see Puskas through
