MTK was getting ready for the start of European campaign through friendly matches as the season in top Hungarian league was over in April. MTK had finished fourth in the league with 51 points gained in 33 matches with 39-37 goal difference. The team had solid chances for the second place but their failed the end of the campaign, taking only one point in four matches, finishing four points away from silver medals. MTK played four sparring matches, beating Cukaricki, 3-0, Chikhura, 3-1, Michalovce, 2-0 and losing to Beitar Jerusalen, 0-1.
The opponents haven’t played a single head-to-head before. We should expect the visiting side at least avoid a defeat in upcoming as they showed quite solid results in friendlies while Aktobe are suffering a slump for quite a while.
Prediction for the match: MTK to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
