NEKA — Budai Farkasok: 32:26, NB I

Neka beat Buda Farkasok 32:26 in the National Championship I on Saturday evening. The hosts took all three points at home, while their visitors remain on zero points after four games.

It was a result we predicted with 54% confidence back before kick-off, and the home side delivered. They did not travel to make up the numbers, and the visitors simply could not find a way through when it mattered.

The scoreboard tells one story, but the table tells another. Buda Farkasok sit 13th with four draws from four matches — they do not lose, but they also do not win. Neka, meanwhile, have two wins, a draw and a defeat from their opening four fixtures.

Looking back at recent form, the visitors have lost three of their last five while drawing four of their first four league games. The home side dropped points in a 27:27 draw with Pler on Wednesday, but had won 28:22 against SBS Eger Eszterhaz earlier in September.

The final scoreline suggests a comfortable evening for Neka. They extended their unbeaten run in front of their own supporters and moved within touching distance of the top half.
