We’re thinking that Újpest FC have the capability to get a goal against this MTK Budapest outfit, although that probably won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re tipping a 2-1 victory for MTK Budapest by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. It should be a decent one.
