The match
Ferencvaros are set to meet English opposition for the first time in 20 years when they host Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League. On Match Day 2 of the competition, Fradi will be eyeing a first win against Spurs who won on Match Day 1. Here’s our preview and prediction of this match.
Despite giving a worthwhile effort in their opening match, Ferencvaros fell 2-1 away to Anderlecht. Late drama in that game saw Anderlecht reduced to 10 men before Adama Traore pulled one back for Ferencvaros.
It would not be enough though, and they’ll be eyeing a better outcome at home. The Hungarian side did warm up for this fixture with a 3-0 home win against Puskas. However, they come here without a win in regular time in their last seven Europa League matches.
That was the same score line for Tottenham’s last match, the English side beating Manchester United away from home. Spurs are a different side since their defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby.
They come here on four straight wins and that includes a 3-0 win against Qarabag in this competition. Notably, in that game at Spurs backyard, they played with 10 men after Radu Dragusin’s seventh minute red card.
Brennan Johnson has come up as a key player for the team, netting in each of the last four matches. Dominic Solanke will also be a thorn to Ferencvaros, having scored in the last three matches.
Ange Postecoglou’s side is making a return to the Europa League after a three-year absence. They have four wins in five Europa League matches.
Key Statistics
- Tottenham have four wins in five Europa League matches.
- Tottenham scored three times in each of their last three matches.
- In three of five Europa League matches Ferencvaros suffered defeats.
- Ferencvaros have no win in three home matches in the Europa League.
- At least three goals were scored in Spurs’ last four away Europa League games.
The bet of our experts
Ferencvaros will be outrightly the underdogs here, facing a Spurs side that’s coming from a strong run. Whereas the hosts bagged a comfortable win in their last outing, they haven't done so well in the Europa League.
Coming into this game, they have no win in seven matches in the competition. Meanwhile, Spurs come here off a four-match winning streak and with a good scoring run as well.
Our prediction for Ferencvaros v Tottenham Hotspur is for Tottenham Hotspur to win and over 2.5 goals.
