Győr and Tatabánya played out a 24:24 draw in the NB I on Thursday, 18 September 2026. The result leaves the hosts still searching for their first win after three matches, while the visitors move within reach of the top spot.
Before kickoff, the table told a familiar story. Győr sat 11th with one point from three games — two draws and a defeat. Tatabánya occupied second place on five points, having claimed two victories and suffered one loss.
Our prediction backed the away side at 57 per cent confidence. That call was wrong. The match did not unfold as expected, and the hosts refused to yield despite the visitors' better position in the standings.
Győr's recent form offers little comfort. They beat Ferencváros 17:12 on 11 September but had already lost to Szeged and Veszprém. Their only other result was a win against Balatonfüred. The pattern suggests inconsistency rather than momentum.
Tatabánya's run has been steadier. A narrow 32:31 victory over Szeged on 13 September followed wins against Győri ETO and Dukla Prague. They also beat Celje but lost to Zagreb in their opening fixture. That single defeat keeps them clear of the leaders but does not put them out of reach.
After three rounds, Győr sit 11th with one point and Tatabánya are second with five. The gap could widen quickly if the home side fails to win, but for now this draw keeps both teams in motion.
