Foreshadow: Mezőkövesd – Veszprém

 

Telekom Veszprém visits Mezőkövesdi KC on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. in the next round of K&H League. The game will not be televised, but we are planning to stream it live on our Youtube page.

 

 

Mezőkövesd has just been promoted to the first division after missing a season. The last time we met was in 2016 October, when we hosted them in the Veszprém Arena and won 30:25. Our top scorer was Marko Kopljar with five goals while István Szepesi scored twelve at the opponent’s side.

 

After a year in the second division, Mezőkövesd is still catching up to the first division as they could only beat Eger, and get draw against Budakalász, out of eight games, while losing any other clashes this season. Last time they played against Tatabánya and lost 23:29. Their top scorer is Stanko Stankovic with 32 goals.

 

Over summer a lot of players have left Mezőkövesd, like Lóránd Horváth, Ákos Sándor, Péter Hengyel, Benjámin Rozmán, Nebojsa Vojinovic, Roland Fábián and József Padla. On the arrivel side, there is Péter Kovács from Békés-Drén KC, Pedro Martins from Gyöngyös, Predrag Rodic from RK Sloga Pozega, Stanko Stankovic from Borac, Filip Krivokapic from RK Lovenc, Máté Dávid from Cegléd and László Horváth on loan from Balatonfüred.

 

 

The ”Építők” have lost their last game, when they hosted Rhein-Neckar Löwen at home in the Champions League. The result was a 28:29 loss. They also lost their last game in the Hungarian championship when they hosted MOL-Pick Szeged in the Hungarian derby. The game ended in a 27:32 loss for Veszprém.

 

The team is in a three games losing streak and they are hoping to break this series against Mezőkövesd.

 

Let’s go Veszprém!
