After Thursday’s win over Plzeň, FTC face a different task. In the club’s Saturday interview, assistant coach Áron Szalai expects plenty of running, pressing and organised defending from Kisvárda. He says the European success lifted the mood after disappointment against Debrecen in the league.

Two different tests

BSR’s viewing question: after escaping the first pressure, how organised is the build-up and where does the next pass go? A cup victory does not answer that on its own; we are not predicting a starting line-up.

The hosts’ programme confirms Sunday 18 October, 18:00, at the Várkerti Stadium. Away tickets require an FTC supporter card; current prices and availability are not confirmed.
