Preview and context
Győri ETO return to ETO Park on 12/02/2026 for a tantalizing Round of 16 clash in the Hungarian Cup against MOL Fehérvár. The setting is familiar — Nagysándor József utca 31., a 15,600-capacity venue where Győr will look to feed off a passionate home crowd. This cup tie carries knockout intensity and both sides arrive with mixed recent form, but the narrative here is clear: Győri ETO’s attacking output and home metrics give them the edge heading into this one-off fixture.
Form, momentum and recent meetings
Győri ETO have shown resilience and goal threat in recent weeks. Their last five results include impressive top-end performances such as a 3-1 victory away to Ferencvárosi and a run of wins that balance out a couple of stumbles, including a curious heavy defeat to Komárno earlier this month. The team’s form string reads D-D-W-L-L-D-W-W-W-W on the latest report, signalling a side capable of dangerous bursts of momentum. In their most recent league outing they drew 1-1 at Diósgyőr, with Nfansu Njie earning the best-player rating on that day.
MOL Fehérvár arrive with a patchy sequence: W-L-D-D-D-L-L-W-W-L. Their most recent result was a narrow 1-0 win over Ajka, where Krisztián Kovács picked up the match’s top rating. Despite flashes of competence, MOL Fehérvár’s underlying offensive numbers are modest compared with their hosts — fewer total shots, lower attacks per game and a smaller dangerous-attack average all point to an away side that creates less high-quality pressure.
The last head-to-head in May 2025 finished 1-0 to Győri ETO in the NB I, a reminder that Győr have the recent psychological advantage when these two meet. Cup football often magnifies small margins and Győr’s home figures — notably nine goals scored at home in the available sample and a healthy shots-on-target return — suggest they can impose themselves.
What to expect tactically and emotionally
Expect Győr to press their advantage in possession and shots, driving the tempo early at ETO Park. MOL Fehérvár will be tempted to sit deeper and spring counter opportunities, but their lower attacks average and fewer shots on target indicate they may struggle to find consistent outlet against a team that generates more dangerous entries into the box. With knockout consequences, discipline and composure will matter — bettors who follow informed staking should also consider match management and in-play swings.

Betting suggestion
Given Győri ETO’s superior attacking numbers at home, the recent head-to-head edge and MOL Fehérvár’s limited offensive output on the road, the clearest value lies in the 1x2 market. Recommendation: back Győri ETO to win (Home). Stake size should reflect your bankroll and risk tolerance, and consider live hedging if the match opens cautiously and tightens into a low-scoring first half.
