Ferencvaros
TrabzonsporFerencvaros welcome Trabzonspor to the Groupama Arena for the final round of Europa League qualification after taking a 1-0 victory from their recent meeting in Turkey. That result forms part of a strong sequence for the Hungarian side, while Trabzonspor responded at the weekend by beating Basaksehir 2-1 in the Super Lig. The return to Budapest therefore comes with Ferencvaros holding the recent head-to-head advantage but the visitors arriving on the back of a win.
Ferencvaros bring a strong run home
Ferencvaros have gone six matches without defeat since losing 4-2 at Paks, recording three wins and three draws in that stretch. Their European results have been particularly steady: they beat Gornik Zabrze 1-0 before drawing 1-1 away, and then followed those results with the 1-0 success at Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor's recent sequence has been less consistent. They drew 1-1 at Kasimpasa before losing to Ferencvaros, although the 2-1 victory over Basaksehir provided an immediate response.
Zachariassen among the recent standouts
Kristoffer Zachariassen has been one of Ferencvaros' stronger recent performers and also supplied the decisive moment in Turkey, scoring after 17 minutes in the 1-0 win. Centre-back Raemaekers Toon and fullback Cadu have also stood out in the home side's recent matches. For Trabzonspor, goalkeeper Andre Onana, centre-back Nwaiwu Chibuike and winger Muci Ernest have been among the more impressive recent performers.
Recent meetings have favoured Ferencvaros
Ferencvaros have won two of the three recent meetings between the clubs. Before this season's 1-0 victory in Trabzon, the sides met twice in the Europa League in 2022. Ferencvaros won 3-2 at home, while Trabzonspor took the other game 1-0 in Turkey. Two of those three encounters have therefore finished with only one side scoring.
A narrow contest remains in prospect
Ferencvaros come into the match with the better recent sequence and the psychological boost of having already won away against Trabzonspor. Their recent European results have also been difficult to break down. Trabzonspor, though, have just returned to winning ways domestically and have previously beaten Ferencvaros in this competition, leaving the Budapest meeting finely balanced despite the hosts' recent edge.
