A win on Saturday would see Vidi pick up their third win in Debrecen within a year and a half. That would be the same amount of wins over the previous 33 years.
The two sides have met so far in 69 matches in the top division. The first encounter between the two clubs came back in the 1979/1980 season in week 4 of that campaign.

The remaining 14 have been drawn producing an overall goal difference of 101-87 in favour of Saturday's opponents.
