Budapest Honved started the new league season with an away win at Ujpest and a home defeat to Ferencvaros. They have continued to be inconsistent as the season continues. They comfortably beat DVTK and also defeated MTK 5-0, but dropped points at Mezokovesd and drew against Gyirmot. Honved most recently won 1-0 at the home of Debrecen to secure the three points. That sees them currently sitting in 5th place in the OTP league table going into Saturday's game. Honved have picked up 17 points so far, which is the same amount as Vidi. They have scored 16 and conceded 8 goals, with Patrik Hidi and David Lanzafame both scoring two goals. 

Honved managed to beat Videoton twice last season, and both those wins came at their Bozsik stadium in Budapest. Videoton won the league game in Szekesfehervar last season. 

Manager Marco Rossi picked the following side for their game at Debrecen: Gróf - Lovric, Bobál, Botka, Hajdú, Hidi, Gazdag, Kamber, Prosser (Zsótér), Koszta (Holender), Lanzafame (Nagy).
