Újpest II vs Monori Se - NB III - Southeast

There is a notable edge to this NB III - Southeast fixture. When Újpest II meet Monori Se at the home ground on October 3, 2026, both will sense an opportunity to land a telling blow. Enzo Maresca verdict on Michael Carrick and Manchester United fixture issue - 'you need to adapt'.

Both Újpest II and Monori Se will be eager to build momentum when they meet in NB III - Southeast. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — WWDWL across their last five with a win rate of 57.14% — and they will want to push on from here. Monori Se travel in decent nick, D in their last five and a win rate of 42.86% this season. Where Újpest II have leaned on defensive discipline, Monori Se have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. The Nottingham Forest playmaker is not anticipated to leave the City Ground this summer, unless a substantial transfer fee is put on the table.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. Tuesday's print edition of ABC, as relayed by Sport Witness, have claimed that Betis turned down a €50m approach from a wealthy non-Premier League club for Antony.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Real Madrid are expected to make an offer believed to be in the region of £43m-£51m (€50m-€60m) - but Man City are still hoping the midfielder will sign a new long-term deal.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 3-3 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. With positions in the NB III - Southeast table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. The 22-year-old was likely quite high up on the list of United's midfield targets and potentially even higher after Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blows.
