ETO FC Holds Second Place Before Final Round
Heading into the final round of the first half of the season, ETO FC occupies second place with 18 points, trailing the league-leading Puskás Akadémia by three points. The team enters the fixture following a 2–1 victory away at Paks, a result that helped stabilize their position after a previous home defeat. A key feature of their recent success has been the form of Montenegrin attacker Viktor Đukanović, who netted two goals in the win against Paks and now holds four goals for the season. The team is under the guidance of Mexican head coach Efraín Juárez.
Újpest arrives in Győr sitting in fourth place with 15 points. This marked only the second time this season the team failed to score.
Historical Rivalry and Tactical Stakes
Historically, the lila-fehérek have struggled against the Rába-parti side over the last two decades, losing 15 of 22 league matches since 2007. Their only victory in that span occurred in May 2015. In Győr specifically, the teams have met 73 times in the NB I, with 32 wins for the hosts, 17 for the visitors, and 24 draws. Since a 2006 victory at the DAC stadium, Újpest has struggled to win away in Győr, recording eight losses and three draws, including a 1–1 result last August.
For both managers, the match serves as a critical indicator of their team’s current development. Statistics show that this fixture consistently produces high-scoring matches, with a current average of 3.3 goals per game.

Recent Developments in Győr
The match holds additional significance due to the history of these encounters acting as turning points for Újpest’s technical leadership. Following a 3–2 loss to ETO in May 2025, former coach Bartosz Grzelak’s tenure concluded, and a subsequent 3–0 defeat in November 2025 led to the departure of his successor, Damir Krznar. With new leadership on both benches, the clubs are focused on establishing a more consistent identity for the remainder of the 2026/2027 campaign. Personal narratives also color the fixture, notably the return of Újpest defender Márió Zeke, who previously developed as a player in Győr.
