- Ferencvarosi's Lenny Joseph has scored four goals in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, four of his team's 11 goals in their last five matches.
- Gornik Zabrze have been in mixed form, with two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five games.
- Ferencvarosi have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five.
Eastern European affair
Ferencvarosi TC are the clear favourites ahead of this clash with Polish side KS Gornik Zabrze, who are listed at 4.0 for this game, while the draw is 3.65 at the time of writing.
That's because the Hungarian side have been in a much better vein of form in 2026, with three wins, one draw and one defeat from their last five, while Gornik have been patchy with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats across their previous five.
Familiar footy in Budapest
Balazs Borbely, who took over at Ferencvarosi on 1 June 2026, has done a good job with the team and they are starting to look like a real force again.
The 3-back shape that he sets up is a solid platform to play from, but the team have real width and tempo when in possession.
They are aggressive on the wings and have a suffocating counter-pressing game that works well off the back of their structure.
Gornik are more traditional in that they set up from a back four with a deep organiser, playing more controlled football and relying on their advanced full-backs to get forward.
It will be a battle of width vs tempo and those qualities should win out on the night, so I'm taking Ferencvarosi to win, although it may be closer than the odds suggest.
A tight match
Ferencvarosi's home games in all competitions have produced 2.67 goals for and 1.00 against, while Gornik Zabrze's away games have been much tighter with 0.71 for and 0.86 against.
Michal Gasparik has only been in charge of Gornik since 1 July 2025, but he has made them a more disciplined side in possession and selective in their pressing, which should make for a cagey encounter in Budapest.
The visitors have won two, drawn two and lost three away from home across all competitions, so I think they could get something here, but Ferencvarosi's momentum will most likely prove too strong.
The odds look tempting on the goals markets, with Over 2.5 at 1.75 and BTTS -Yes at 1.7 both looking like good value on this occasion. I think Ferencvarosi will get the win in a competitive fixture, but the BTTS market offers some insurance if the visitors get something from the game.
Lenny Joseph has been on fire for Ferencvarosi lately, scoring four of his four goals in all competitions across his last four appearances. Gornik do have a livewire in Taofeek Ismaheel, however, who has scored two of his goals across his last five appearances.
