Hungarians are in great form
Form and management
Ferencvarosi TC come into this second leg in flying form after winning 9 and losing only 1 of their last 10 games across all competitions. Balazs Borbely was appointed as head coach on 1 June 2026 and has seemingly moulded a very solid, compact and highly functional unit that can play transition soccer and hit opponents on the counter-attack.
Key players
Lenny Joseph has been their main man in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, hitting 3 goals in 3 matches, but it's been Kristoffer Zachariassen that has been on fire recently with 3 goals in their last 5 matches. Cadu has been the midfield maestro, helping to keep the transitions sharp with 3 assists in that 5-match winning streak.
Opposition outlook
The visitors will face the toughest challenge of their UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026 campaign so far, however, after losing 2-1 away in the first-leg. John van den Brom has been in charge since 15 September 2025 and his side play a more proactive brand of 4-3-3 football, where they will look to hurt the opposition with the width of their two wide players and the vertical speed of their three forwards.
Spoils should be shared
That's a dead heat in any language, but we're happy to be on the home side in this second-leg with FC Twente's recent form hardly inspiring.
They played better than KAA Gent in a 2-2 home draw before their first-leg loss to Fradi and we think that this will be a similar type of game.
But Twente will press hard and that could open up some space for Fradi's to break in to, which is why the over 2.5 goals at 1.7 is the sharper option in this market, while both teams to score at 1.52 is another way to get involved in what should be a lively contest.
The Hungarians have the edge with a 2-1 win from the first-leg and we're backing them to progress by the same scoreline on Thursday.
- The odds look like a tie on the match result, with Ferencvarosi TC 2.6, FC Twente 2.6 and the draw 3.25.
- Twente have been steadier than spectacular in UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, with a 5-3-2 record across their 10 competitive matches so far.
- Twente's wide, high-tempo style of play should be stifled by Fradi's compact, transition-heavy setup.
- Fradi will be hard to beat at home, winning 6 and drawing 0 from their 6 games across all competitions, scoring 16 in their last 6 home games.
