Petra Simon believes the league game in Szombathely could also help preparations for Dortmund, whose defence she sees as having similarities. The playmaker discussed this in Fradi's 13 October preview, not in a BSR interview.

Two tasks, not just a rehearsal

FTC-Toyota Kovács visit Szombathelyi KKA at Aréna Savaria on 14 October at 18:00. Dortmund follow in Érd on Saturday at 16:00, according to the official weekly schedule. All times are Budapest local time. League points matter in their own right; solutions against a similar defence might also inform the Champions League game. That is an opportunity, not proof of tactical success.
