Information and facts: everything you need to know about our match against Újpest FC.

As you know, we drew 2–2 with four-time cup winners ETO FC on Wednesday in Matchday 4 of the Simple Women’s League. Goals from Maria Palama and Fanni Vachter put us ahead twice, but the visitors equalised in added time, meaning the points were ultimately shared. The midweek round also produced interesting results elsewhere: league leaders MTK were held to a goalless draw by newly promoted Astra HFC, while PAFC drew 1–1 with Újpest. We visit the purple-and-whites on Sunday at 3 p.m. Sándor Oroszi’s side are currently fifth in the table with two wins, one draw and one defeat.

Our head-to-head record:

We have faced Újpest 12 times, recording two wins, three draws and seven defeats against the purple-and-whites. Our last encounter with Sándor Oroszi’s side was in the spring, in Matchday 18 of the league, when the teams drew 1–1.
