Why Back Ferencvaros?

Last season, Ferencvaros lost only once during the Europa League group phase and went on to reach the Round of 16. Their strong performances seem to carry over into the 2026/27 season, where they've won four of five matches so far.

This includes two away victories: a 2-1 win against Vojvodina in Serbia and another 2-1 success over Twente in the Netherlands.

In contrast, Gornik Zabrze are relatively inexperienced on the European stage, participating in just their fourth continental fixture this century. They have won only one of their last 13 European matches. Given these facts, Ferencvaros' chance of winning carries an implied probability of 36.4%, making them the value pick.
