Form and stats
Ferencvarosi TC are a solid, well-drilled and hard to break down team, who have looked particularly sharp under Balazs Borbely since his appointment as head coach on 1 June 2026. Fradi come into Thursday's matchup on a 2-match winning streak, having taken 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 in all competitions. The Hungarians have a strong home record of 2-2-1 in all current competitions, and are conceding at a rate of just 0.80 goals per game, a solid base for the hosts in Thursday's clash.
Tactics and players
Fradi play in a 3-at-the-back system with some attacking wing-backs, meaning they can stretch the field and make use of their pace in transition to make the game flow nicely.
Trabzonspor look to be a team with a more pragmatic edge to their play since Fatih Tekke took over as head coach on 11 March 2025. The Black Sea Storm are the slight favorites at 2.41, ahead of Ferencvarosi TC at 2.94 and the draw at 3.62. The Turkish side have 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their last 10 in all competitions, so it's tough to read their form in that regard, and their away record is 3-1-2 from 6, with 1.17 scored and 1.33 conceded on average.
- Lenny Joseph provides the spark of genius in Ferencvarosi's play, and is top scorer in the Europa League qualification campaign with 4 goals from 7 games.
- He is supported by Marius Corbu, who has been on a fine run recently, scoring 2 of their 4 goals in the last 5-game run.
Tight game on the cards
Trabzonspor will have been disappointed by their 0-1 home defeat to Ferencvarosi TC, and their recent 3 results are 1-2 L away at Goztepe, 1-1 D away at Kasimpasa and 0-1 L at home to Ferencvarosi TC. The prize is a direct route into the Europa League league phase, so both sides will be keen to make a statement on Thursday and that could lead to an end-to-end game.
Fradi are the more settled side and on a better recent run, but the odds and recent numbers of both sides do not suggest anything other than a close game, so we will support BTTS Yes at 1.65 and Over 2.5 goals at 1.78, which looks a likely outcome at the Groupama Arena, Hungary.
