Early in the 2026–27 NB I campaign, after seven rounds, Kispest Honvéd and Zalaegerszeg sit at the foot of the table with just six points each and the league’s worst goal differences, placing them in the automatic relegation and play-off spots respectively under the updated rules. Nyíregyháza Spartacus and mid-table sides such as Paks and Debrecen trail closely on seven to nine points, keeping multiple teams in the relegation conversation. Honvéd’s leaky defense and Zalaegerszeg’s winless run stand out as the primary drivers of current trader positioning, while stronger starts from Puskás Akadémia and ETO Győr highlight the gap at the top. With a long schedule ahead, squad depth, injury recoveries, and results in the coming months will determine whether the bottom two can climb clear before the May 2027 play-off.
