Puskas will be hungry to get back on track
This Puskas FC Academy vs FC Ujpest prediction highlights that Puskas FC Academy will be desperate to get three points on Saturday when they entertain Ujpest at the Pancho Arena in an NB I 2025-2026 match that pits eighth place against sixth. The home side have endured a rough stretch and are winless in three, having taken only one point from their last three.
The Academy have only won four of 14 at home in NB I 2025-2026 and are averaging just 1.14 goals scored per game at Pancho Arena. In contrast, Ujpest have been much better on the road, where they have won five of 14, averaging 1.57 goals scored.
According to our Puskas FC Academy vs FC Ujpest preview, Zsolt Hornyak has overseen a decent campaign at Puskas since taking over as head coach in July 2019. He is a versatile coach who can set his team up in a variety of systems, but has settled on a 4-2-3-1 which makes the best use of his players’ strengths.
Ujpest can be ruthless on their day
Further reinforcing the Puskas FC Academy vs FC Ujpest prediction, Ujpest boss Zoltan Szelesi has impressed since being appointed at the end of 2025, quickly imposing a disciplined, organized approach on his charges. His team are solid at the back, control tempo and usually have more of the ball when they play a compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, where the wings are patrolled and the ball fed through the centre.
This match could serve as one of the key Puskas FC Academy vs FC Ujpest betting tips, as it could be a chess match of styles between Puskas’ direct, wing-driven, fast-transitioning game and Ujpest’s more structured, midfield-based build-up. It could be very even in the first half with neither side wanting to gift the other any momentum, but we reckon Ujpest could come through stronger after the break.
Aljosa Matko has 16 NB I goals in 30 games this term for the visitors, but Krisztofer Horvath has been a good foil for him in recent games, scoring four times in the last five. The 3.22 draw and the 1.8 over 2.5 goals and both teams to score-yes bets appeal to us here as both teams need the points and the last two meetings have been close with the Academy claiming one win and one draw.
Visitors have been on a good run
The Puskas FC Academy vs FC Ujpest prediction is further complicated by the fact that Puskas, who beat Ujpest 1-0 away two months ago, are winless in their last two at Pancho Aréna and Ujpest have three wins in their last five. The visitors should be the more positive side here as they have been in recent weeks, scoring ten goals in their last two matches including the 7-2 demolition of Nyiregyhaza Spartacus FC at home.
Puskas have more to prove and will be the more desperate for the points as they drift down the standings. A draw would not be a bad result for either manager, but we’ll take the 1.64 odds of both clubs finding the net in a high-scoring affair.
