Feisty Fradi can outpace their hosts
Ferencvarosi TC have won their last 5 games in all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Zalaegerszegi TE in the NB I 2026-2027 last weekend and two Europa League qualifying victories to nil against Vojvodina, and they should arrive in Hungary as the clear favorites against Paksi FC.
Betting odds, however, suggest that this game will be close with Fradi listed at 1.89, Paksi FC at 3.38 and the draw at 3.64, which is a little surprising given that the visitors have won 2 of the clubs' last 3 meetings. Ferencvarosi TC won the last head-to-head 2-0 in NB I 2025/2026 and they appear to be on a mission under Balazs Borbely, who took over the club on 1 June 2026.
Gyorgy Bognar has had a good crack at setting up Paksi FC with a solid, shape-first and counter-attacking system since taking over in February 2023, but it may not be enough to stop the visitors in this one. Fradi are a lively, high-energy side that should have plenty of territory to play in if they can get their high press working.
Paksi FC’s plan is to sit deep and counter
Tactical outlook
Fradi are a front-foot side that like to pin teams back with their wide rotations and ability to counter press with numbers, so they should control territory if their pressing game clicks. Kristoffer Zachariassen is a good player to have up front as he can be a big goal threat while Paksi FC sit deep and then come to life behind.
Form and market
- Paksi have been rock-solid at home in all competitions this season, winning 3 and drawing 1 of 4 fixtures, but their all-competitions form reads 5 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats over the past 10.
- They have scored 12 goals in their last 4 home games and this looks like a contest if Ferencvarosi TC can break the hosts down.
- The market is definitely on the 'goals' side here with Over 2.5 at 1.55 and Both Teams to Score at 1.5, so there is an edge to be had in backing Ferencvarosi TC to take the game by a couple of goals unless Paksi FC turn this into a scrap.
