- Celtic FC are unbeaten in their last 4 home matches (W4, D0), conceding only 1 goal in that period.
- Ferencvarosi TC are unbeaten in their last 5 away matches (W4, D1), scoring 8 goals during that span.
- Celtic FC have won 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions (D1, L1) while Ferencvarosi TC are right in the mix having won 6, drawn 3 and lost only 1.
The Bhoys will back themselves to beat the Hungarian champions
Martin O'Neill has done some good things since taking over as Celtic's manager on the 1st May 2026 and his side have looked capable of some serious damage when at their best. The Bhoys play with plenty of width, plenty of tempo and a coordinated press which is designed to win the ball back high up the pitch. Camilo Duran has been Celtic's sharpest edge in this system of late, and he has netted 3 of the club's 8 goals in their last 5 contests (W4, D0, L1).
Ferencvarosi are a very different team to Celtic in almost every way and that should make for an interesting tactical battle on Thursday. Balazs Borbely took charge of Fradi on the 1st June 2026 and they have been more structured, more compact and more in control of their games since his appointment. They're a more possession-based side who like to keep a good shape and create opportunities through the wide areas and the half-spaces.
Celtic are the clear favourites here at 71/100, but Ferencvarosi are available at an tempting 16/5 while the draw is priced at 3/1. Celtic do have the home advantage and it does seem right that they should be favourites for this match, however, we feel that Ferencvarosi's unbeaten run away from home in 5 (W4, D1) should keep this from feeling like a one-sided contest.
Celtic’s fresh edge and home advantage tells the tale
The Bhoys have been very impressive at Celtic Park since the turn of the year, winning 4 of their last 5 games in all competitions (D0, L1), including a 1-0 away win against St. Johnstone in the Premiership and a 3-0 defeat away to Glasgow Rangers in the League Cup last time out.
The Hungarian side have also impressed in recent weeks, beating Puskas FC Academy 2-1 and Gyori ETO FC 3-0, both away, as well as drawing 2-2 at home to FC Ujpest in the NB I. A Celtic win and goals looks the best fit for these two sides and the recent results, while the price on Celtic & Over 2.5 goals also appeals.
