Ferencvaros vs Plzen prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-09-24 19:00.
[p]FerencvĂĄros return to European action as Hungarian champions, welcoming Czech runners-up Viktoria PlzeĆ to Budapest in a repeat of last seasonâs Europa League (UEL) play-off clash between the two.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]This is FerencvĂĄrosâ seventh consecutive season in Europe and theyâll be hoping that wealth of experience can build a strong foundation for success this season. They come into this league phase unbeaten in four competitive matches (W3, D1), but that wonât necessarily guarantee victory here with FerencvĂĄros winning their opening game in just two of their previous six (D1, L3) European campaigns. The mood in the camp should at least be somewhat buoyed after they saved some embarrassment by coming back from two goals down to draw 2-2 in their most recent domestic league match against bottom-half club DVTK. [/p]
[p]Viktoria PlzeĆ would love to repeat their run in this competition last season, when they made it all the way to the Round of 16 before bowing out to Lazio. Last seasonâs Chance Liga runners-up came up short against Rangers in UEFA Champions League qualifying this summer, but they have still been building a solid European pedigree in recent times and can boast a sound record of winning nine of their previous 14 group stage matches in major competitions (D3, L2). They will travel to Hungary on the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat to league leaders Sparta on Saturday, but should remain confident after taking points from three of their four games away from home in last seasonâs league phase (W1, D2, L1). [/p]
