Ferencvárosi TC vs Viktoria Plzen
Match Preview
Ferencváros host Viktoria Plzeň in the Europa League, a rematch of last season's 1-1 draw between the sides. Ferencváros sit 6th in the new 36-team table after a 3-1 opening win at Celtic, while Plzeň are down in 34th following a 0-3 defeat. Domestically, Ferencváros are 5th in the NB I; Plzeň sit a modest 10th in the Czech First League.
Ferencváros arrive full of confidence after that win in Glasgow, with Zsombor Gruber and Elton Acolatse leading the attack. Plzeň need a response after their heavy opening defeat, leaning on forward Christophe Kabongo and veteran midfielder Patrik Hrošovský. History slightly favors the visitors — Plzeň have won two of the last four meetings, with Ferencváros taking just one, including a 3-0 win for the Czech side last February.
Both sides need the points to climb off the lower half of the new-look table, setting up a cagey, high-stakes night in Budapest. Our prediction: 2-1
