Ferencvaros vs Rangers prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-12-10 17:45.
[p]Ferencváros and Rangers have endured contrasting fortunes in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) this term, with one flying high in the top eight while the other remains winless and in the bottom four.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Perhaps surprisingly, it’s Hungarian side Ferencváros who are flying high in the top eight with 11 points after five matchdays (W3, D2), subsequently making them one of only four unbeaten sides in this season’s league phase. Reaching the UEL knockouts for a second season running now seems like it will be a mere formality for Ferencváros, but after falling at the knockout play-off round last season, they’ll be keen to secure the top-eight finish that will send them straight to the last 16. They certainly have momentum on their side having won three games in succession, and five wins from their last six UEL home matches (D1) should only serve to reinforce belief. [/p]
[p]Rangers’ UEL campaign has been nothing short of disastrous, as the Scottish giants sit firmly among the basement dwellers after collecting just one point from the opening five rounds (D1, L4). Four successive European away defeats, conceding a whopping 13 goals in the process, hardly hints at things getting much better here, but they did at least win on the road over the weekend when they downed Kilmarnock 3-0. They’re still nine points off the pace in the Scottish Premiership title race, but they’ve shown signs of warming to the task with a six-match unbeaten competitive run (W3, D3), which includes three successive away outings in which they’ve scored at least twice. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Ferencváros and Rangers haven’t met since the 1960/61 Cup Winners’ Cup first round when the Scottish side progressed on aggregate. Hungarian teams have lost five of their last six major European encounters with Scottish clubs.[/p]
