Vidi will meet Vasas for the 86th time in the first division

Videoton travel to the capital on Saturday evening to face newly promoted Vasas.

Vidi will meet with the Budapest side for the 86th time in the top division on Saturday. The first league match between the two was played back on the 3rd March 1968. That game was played in Angyalfold, with Vasas emerging 6-1 winners. Vidi's goal that day came from Laszlo Csukovics. The 85 matches have seen 30 wins for Videoton. Vasas have come out winners in 25 games while the remaining 30 have been drawn. Vidi enjoy a better goalscoring record with 123 goals scored and 111 conceded.

The match at Fay Utca will be the 43rd between the two in Budapest. Vasas have won 21 of those with 14 drawn and 7 resulting in Videoton wins. It is interesting to see that 5 of those 7 wins have been achieved since 2000. Vidi were only able to win once in Budapest between 1968 and 2000. Vidi have lost just once over the last 15 years and that came in a 4-1 defeat on the 1st November 2008.


(Videoton won 4-2 at the home of Vasas in 2009. The home side had led 2-1 until the 82nd minute.)
