Ferencvaros vs Ludogorets prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-11-05 20:00.
[p]Ferencváros and Ludogorets square off for the third time already this season as they meet on matchday four in the UEFA Europa League (UEL).[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Reigning Hungarian champions Ferencváros may not have reached the main draw of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) this term having knocked out Ludogorets in a two-legged qualifier, but they have made a bright start to their UEL campaign after dropping into Europe’s second-tier competition. Unbeaten in their first three games of the league phase (W2, D1), the Greens have lost just one of their last 13 matches in all competitions (W8, D4). Notably though, the build-up to this clash has been overshadowed by reports of head coach Robbie Keane’s interest in the vacancy at Premier League side Wolves.   [/p]
[p]Ludogorets made a managerial change last week, dismissing Rui Mota, with reserves boss Todor Zhivondov in caretaker charge. Mota was only appointed in the summer, with the Eagles currently occupying a top-four spot in the Bulgarian top flight – a sign of the expectations at the club given their recent domestic dominance. Zhivondov has so far chalked up a win and a draw since taking the role, but a positive result in Budapest would be somewhat of a surprise. While Ludogorets already have three points on the board in the UEL this season (W1, L2), they have won just three of their last 35 games in the competition’s main draw (D9, L23).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Ludogorets have only won one of the pair’s six competitive H2Hs (D2, L3), with Ferencváros’ latest win in the fixture being a 3-0 home success in August in the UCL qualifiers.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Ferencváros have scored 3+ goals in ten of their last 12 wins.[/p]
[p]Exactly one first-half goal has been scored in all three of Ferencváros’ league phase games to date this season.[/p]
[p]Five of Ludogorets’ last six UEL matches have seen both teams score.[/p]
[p]Ludogorets’ three league phase games this term have each featured at least four yellow cards.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Gábor Szalai scored against Ludogorets in August and was on target again last weekend for Ferencváros, with all six of his goals so far in 2025 having led his side to victory. Deroy Duarte’s clubs have often failed to win when he has found the net, with the Dutchman’s last seven goals having contributed to just two victories (D2, L3). [/p]
[p]Ferencváros trio Barnabás Nagy, Stefan Gartenmann and Zsombor Gruber are all doubts having seemingly picked up injuries last weekend. Ludogorets forward Bernard Tekpetey is also doubtful after being withdrawn in the first half on Sunday.[/p]
