Újpest and Paksi meet at Szusza Ferenc Stadion, in a match for the 12th round of NB I. In the last head-to-head for this edition of the league, on 08-15-2020, Újpest won away by (1‑2 ). In this stadium, the history of direct confrontations indicates total balance between these two teams, since there were 6 draws and 1 victory for each team in the last 8 games. However, the last time these two teams played a match at this stadium was on 20‑05‑2020, for the Friendlies, which ended with the victory of Paksi SE by (1‑2).

Újpest :
The home team is currently in 10th position, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost at home to MTK by (0‑4). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Diósgyőr by (3‑0). This is a team that tends to achieve more positive results away from home than at home, as they won 6 points away and 4 in their stadium, with 7 goals scored and 15 suffered as away, against 4 goals scored and 9 suffered at home. In their last 4 home games for the championship Újpest won 1, drew 1 and lost 2, for which they won 4 points out of 12 possible. Their defense has not been very solid, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition.
Without going through a good time and suffering many defeats, Újpest is now fighting to get away from the area of the table that leads to relegation in the division. In addition, their attack system is insufficient and their defense is the weakest in the competition to date. With two consecutive losses, the team is aware that now it will have to do its homework or it could complicate everything even more within the league.
Paksi :
After 5 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, the visiting team is currently in 3rd position, with 17 points won. In their last match, they lost away to Kisvárda by (3‑1), after having won at home in the previous match, in a match against Puskás, by (6‑2). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, they usually win as many points at home as away, with 7 goals scored and 12 suffered as away, against 15 goals scored and 7 suffered at home. For the championship, Paksi conquered 7 points out of 15 possible, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last 5 games they played as a visitor. The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so they have not presented great defensive strength, but their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals to be scored in their away matches, since 26 of the last 27 matches they have played have ended with Over 1.5 goals. In 11 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 6 times, but got the comeback in 2. There are 2 periods that stand out in the last 8 away games for all competitions: he scored 4 of his 11 goals between minutes (76 ‘ -90 ‘); they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (16’ ‑ 30 ‘).
Despite coming off a loss, Paksi’s team is going through a good phase and has achieved good sequences of results. He does not have one of the best defenses, but he has the second best attack and is motivated by that, so he will have to impose offensively from the first minutes of the game, with the aim of adding the 3 points to stay in a good position in the table .
