Budapest currently plays in division 2A of the World Cities League and hasn't had a particularly successful start into the 2024 season (trailing in all their matches so far). So a win should be possible. Still, sometimes these cup matches have their own regularities.
The last time we played Budapest was in 2022. This was the season in which we promoted to Division 1. In that match, we had 25 players both and The Hague won by 31-19. Let's try and repeat this success. 25 looks like a reasonable target this time as well. (Currently, we have 12 players registered.)
