This Hungarian Cup quarter-final pits NB I side Zalaegerszegi against NB II challengers Soroksar. Zalaegerszegi comes into this as the favorite, having recently beaten Hungarian giants Ferencvaros 3-1, a result that sent shockwaves through the league. They are currently 5th in the top flight and have shown a high level of tactical maturity. Their home record is their biggest strength, and they have a history of performing well in the latter stages of the cup.
Soroksar, representing the second tier, has had a mixed run of form. While they are a top-half team in NB II, the jump in quality to face an NB I side is significant. Their recent results show defensive lapses, conceding 3 goals in a loss to Tiszakecske. Historically, Soroksar has struggled against Zalaegerszegi, losing their only previous meeting. For the visitors to succeed, they will need a flawless defensive performance, but the current momentum lies entirely with the home side.
