Why Ferencvaros?

Last season, Ferencvaros lost only once during the Europa League group stage and reached the Round of 16. That performance seems to have boosted their confidence as they begin the 2026/27 campaign.

Balazs Borbely’s squad has triumphed in four out of five Europa League matches so far this season, including both away games. They defeated Vojvodina 2-1 in Serbia and repeated the same scoreline against Twente in the Netherlands.

On the other hand, Gornik Zabrze are less seasoned in European competitions. This is only their fourth continental tie this century, and they've won just one of their last 13 European matches. Given these stats, the visitors appear to offer good value with an implied win probability of 36.4%.
