Ferencvaros vs Vojvodina Predictions
Ferencvaros return to Budapest with a narrow lead after securing a 2-1 first-leg victory against Vojvodina in Serbia.
The Hungarian champions have been in excellent form this year, and should finish the job in Budapest.
I fancy Ferencvaros to win with at least two goals scored.
Ferencvaros Backed in Budapest
- Ferencvaros won 8 of their last 10 matches (competitive fixtures)
- Ferencvaros scored 2+ goals in 8 of their last 10 matches (competitive fixtures)
- Vojvodina lost 6 of their last 7 away matches (European fixtures)
- Vojdvodina conceded 2+ goals in 6 of their last 8 away matches (European fixtures)
Ferencvaros Claim First-Leg Advantage in First-Ever Meeting
Ferencvaros and Vojvodina will meet for the second time on Thursday. Ferencvaros claimed a narrow 2-1 first-leg victory in Serbia last week.
Ferencvaros in Control
Ferencvaros return to Budapest with one foot in the next qualifying round after claiming a hard-fought victory at Karadjordje Stadium.
Balazs Borbely’s side took an early lead through Kristoffer Zachariassen’s eighth-minute strike before Mariano Gomez’s own goal levelled matters on the stroke of half-time.
With the first leg seemingly set to finish 1-1, Yusuf Bamidele struck two minutes from time to secure a priceless away win for Ferencvaros.
Ferencvaros have now won six successive competitive matches since the end of last season.
The hosts also have plenty of recent European experience to call on, having reached the Europa League round of 16 last season.
Particularly strong at home, the Hungarians secured memorable wins against Braga and Rangers during that run, while remaining unbeaten in six Europa League matches at Groupama Arena.
Vojvodina Facing Difficult Task
Vojvodina travel to Hungary knowing that they must win to keep their Europa League campaign alive.
Miroslav Tanjga’s side were competitive in last week’s 2-1 home reversal. Twice, Vojvodina came close to taking the lead after half-time, with Nardin Mulahusejnovic and Aleksa Vukanovic both hitting the woodwork before Yusuf Bamidele’s late winner.
The Serbian runners-up showed enough attacking threat to suggest they can score in Budapest, but their recent European away record offers little encouragement.
Vojvodina have lost six of their last seven European away fixtures, with a 1-0 win at Lithuanian side Panevezys their only continental road victory since 2017.
