- Ferencvarosi TC are on a two-game winning streak, having won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games.
- Trabzonspor have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five outings.
- Ferencvarosi TC won the reverse fixture 1-0 away in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, making the head-to-head record between these two sides even at one win each in two meetings.
Backing the home side
Ferencvarosi TC can take heart from their 1-0 victory in the away leg and home record from all current competitions of W2, D2, L1, conceding just 0.80 per match. This should be a solid base for Balazs Borbely's men to spring from on Thursday, as they look to set sail for the Europa League league phase.
Borbely has been in charge of the Hungarian side since the 1st of June 2026 and looks to have a well-drilled team that are tough to break down. The wing-backs in their 3-at-the-back system can push the pitch wide, while they can be equally as dangerous on the counter, so they're a versatile and difficult to read team.
Lenny Joseph has the most Europa League qualification goals for Fradi this term, netting four of their seven goals. However, it's been Marius Corbu who has been on a roll recently, as the Romanian has notched two of the clubs' four goals over their most recent five-game run (W3, D1, L1).
A tight contest expected
Trabzonspor arrive as the slight favourites here at 2.41, with Ferencvarosi TC and the draw at 2.94 and 3.62 respectively. The visitors have won four, drawn two and lost four of their last ten games in all competitions, which reads as a mixed bag.
Fatih Tekke has been in charge of the Karadeniz Fırtınası (Black Sea Storm) since 11th March 2025, but has a more pragmatic approach to his side that could make this a tricky tie. Their recent three-game form reads as a 2-1 defeat at Goztepe, a 1-1 draw at Kasimpasa and a 1-0 loss at home to Ferencvarosi TC.
Trabzonspor's away record from all competitions stands at W3, D1 and L2 from six, scoring 1.17 goals per away game and conceding 1.33 in return. Their 4-2-3-1 structure is based around wide delivery, so we think that this will be a clash of structure vs direct threat.
Betting advice
Ferencvarosi TC have been the more settled of the two sides in recent times and their record in all current competitions reads as solid, but the odds and recent numbers simply don't reflect a runaway win for the hosts. As such, we're going for a goal-heavy affair with a BTTS Yes selection at 1.65 and Over 2.5 goals at 1.78.
