[p]Ferencváros and Ludogorets resume battle in Budapest with a place in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) play-off round at stake. After a goalless first leg, everything is to play for here.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After booking their place in this round via a 6-4 aggregate win over Noah, Ferencváros have since complemented their fine European form so far with an unbeaten start to their domestic league season (W2, D1). The Hungarian champions are aiming to reach the UCL play-off round for the first time since 2020/21, having fallen at this stage in each of the last three seasons. Ferencváros have made themselves tough to beat here, and have at least found the net in each of their last four UCL third qualifying round home legs (W2, D1, L1), and they enter this fixture unbeaten in six competitive games overall in 2025/26 (W4, D2).[/p]
[p]Ludogorets overcame Croatian outfit Rijeka 3-1 on aggregate in the previous round, solidifying their record of reaching the UCL third qualifying round in four of the last five seasons. The reigning 14-time consecutive Bulgarian champions are characterised by a tough backline, keeping six clean sheets in their nine competitive matches this season (W6, D3). They’ve struggled for wins away from home in Europe recently though, managing just two in their last 12 such trips (D6, L4). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Ferencváros and Ludogorets have met five times in European competition since 2019, with the Hungarians holding the edge (W2, D2, L1). Two of the three meetings in UCL qualifying saw both teams score before half-time. [/p]
