Early in the 2026-27 OTP Bank Liga season, after eight rounds, Kispest Honvéd and Zalaegerszegi TE sit at the bottom with six points each, facing the strongest relegation pressure under the updated rules where 12th place drops automatically and 11th contests a May 2027 play-off against NB II runners-up. Honvéd’s inconsistent results and ZTE’s poor goal difference reflect defensive vulnerabilities and limited scoring, while mid-table sides like Nyíregyháza, Debrecen, and Kisvárda remain within striking distance of the drop zone. With 20-plus rounds remaining, form, squad depth, and fixture difficulty will determine whether these teams can climb or if promoted sides and mid-table strugglers consolidate their positions. Trader consensus centers on these two clubs as the primary relegation candidates based on current standings and early momentum.
