Ferencváros vs Viktoria Plzeň Preview and Team News

Ferencváros Team News

Ferencváros ended the Europa League group stage with four wins and losses, granting them access to the playoffs. The final two matches were Robbie Keane’s first games in charge, and the famous Irish footballer will now look to lead the Hungarian side to silverware.

The hosts will likely be in a bad mood. They lost their last fixture in the domestic championship to Puskas Academy, putting them in second place, two points behind the leaders.

Looking at the stats, Ferencváros does not have a positive record against Czech opponents (W13, D4, L17). However, the Hungarians will be delighted as they have no injury worries. Habib Maiga is the only probable absentee ahead of the clash. 

Ferencváros predicted lineup vs Viktoria Plzeň (4-3-3): Varga; Civic, Cisse, Gartenmann, Kajan; Toth, Rommens, Fani; Traore, Romdhane, Varga.

Viktoria Plzeň Team News

Plzeň finished the Europa League group stage with the same amount of points (12). Miroslav Koubek’s men are in the knockout tie for the first time since being eliminated in the 2018/19 season. 

In Chance Liga, Plzeň have a slim possibility of claiming the title, being 10 points behind leaders Slavia Prague. Of course, their main priority will be to advance as far as possible in the Europa League.

Despite their rich history in European tournaments, it’s the first time they’ll face any Hungarian opposition at a competitive level. Similar to Ferencváros, there aren’t many injuries to concern them. Daniel Vasulin was sent off against Bilbao and is suspended.

Viktoria Plzeň predicted lineup vs Ferencváros (3-4-1-2): Jedlicka; Jemelka, Markovic, Dweh; Havel, Kalvach, Cerv, Cadu; Sulc; Adu, Vydra.

Ferencváros vs Viktoria Plzeň Prediction

• Pick: Ferencváros to Win
• Odds: 2.17 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Ferencváros 1-0 Viktoria Plzeň

Ferencváros are the slight favourites in this matchup, even though there are no significant differences in the class of the teams. They’re powerful on their own turf, and we only take a look at recent Groupama Arena events they’ve lost.

Plzeň, on the other hand, are on a two-game losing streak away from home, and we think they’ll have a difficult time against the home side. The visitors usually struggle on the road and will likely focus on the defence.

It’s an ideal chance for the hosts to gain a lead in the first leg, and in front of their fans, they’ll show an attacking football. Our first pick for Thursday would be Ferencváros to win.

Ferencváros vs Viktoria Plzeň Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Under 2.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.78 (22Bet)

We already approached the playoffs, where each mistake could be costly. While Ferencváros are favourites, the clubs are not expected to go hastily into the offence from the start. On the contrary, the first half could be mostly chess-like.

Both teams are organized defensively, and the formations coaches use are aimed at effectively thwarting attacks. We don’t think players will create dozens of chances to delight us with exciting moments.

Barnabás Varga is the second top goals-corer in the Europa League, with seven, but the opponents will surely be ready for the Hungarian’s efforts. A low-scoring affair is anticipated, and our second pick would be under 2.5 goals.
