Hungarian Football League: Honvéd and Videoton still neck and neck at the top
Videoton and Honvéd both secured victories in the 31st round of fixtures in NBI this weekend, a scenario which means the teams are still level on points at the top of Hungary’s top tier of league football, Honvéd leading by virtue of a better head-to-head record so far this season. At the bottom, MTK occupy the second relegation spot above already-doomed Gyirmót with Diósgyőri VTK and Mezőkövesd just a point ahead on 36 points. Next weekend will feature the penultimate round of league fixtures.
