**Early in the 2026–27 OTP Bank Liga season, trader focus centers on the bottom of the table after eight rounds, where Kispest Honvéd sits in the automatic relegation spot and Zalaegerszegi TE occupies the relegation playoff position.** Honvéd’s poor form and defensive vulnerabilities have left them with just six points, while ZTE’s winless away record and goal drought have kept them near the drop zone. The league’s updated format—last place auto-relegated, second-bottom entering a one-legged playoff against the NB II runner-up—adds weight to these positions. Mid-table sides like Nyíregyháza and Debrecen also face pressure from inconsistent results. Early momentum from sides such as Puskás Akadémia and Győr has widened the gap at the top, but with most teams still having the bulk of their fixtures ahead, form, squad depth, and head-to-head results in the coming months will shape the relegation picture.
