Videoton complete their league division fixtures on Sunday afternoon. Gyorgy Mezey takes charge of his final match as Vidi manager, with an away match against Ujpest. It is sure to be an emotional affair, with his players keen to give him a good send off. It has been a good season for the red and blues, winning the Monicomp league for the first time, even though they were beaten in midweek, in the Hungarian cup final by KTE. Vasas kicked off the weekend games with a 1-1 draw against the cup winners, KTE. Győri ETO picked up all three points at home to Kaposvar, who have fallen back of late, having been in the top three for much of the season. Relegated MTK lost by the odd goal in seven, at home to runners up Paks. MTK will be looking to regroup and go for promotion next season. Siofok, who were involved in a relegation battle for most of the season ended with a 1-1 draw at home to Honved.
Third place up for grabs!
Third place is still up for grabs, with both Ferencvaros looking to pip Debrecen, and qualify for the Europa league this summer. There will be a big crowd at the Albert stadium on Sunday, with plenty of tension, both on and off the pitch. Debrecen will be hoping that Papa do them a favour and beat the green and whites. Last season's champions have had a disappointing season, and they have to beat Haladas on their home pitch, to have any hope. Relegated Szolnok will wave goodbye to the first division with a home match against ZTE. Ujpest have had a mixed season and they will be looking to bow out with a win, over a Videoton side that they have not beaten in three years.
