Vojvodina vs Ferencvaros Predictions
Ferencvaros finished last season in solid form, and they should have enough quality to claim a first-leg win on Thursday.
An away win is my preferred pick at Karadorđe Stadium.
Ferencvaros Backed in Novi Sad
- Vojvodina lost 3 of their last 4 home matches (European competitions)
- Ferencvaros won 5 of their last 6 matches
- Ferencvaros won 3 of their last 5 away matches (European competitions)
Vojvodina and Ferencvaros Set For First Meeting
Vojvodina and Ferencvaros have not previously met in a competitive fixture.
Vojvodina Face Major Test
Vojvodina head into Thursday’s first leg on the back of an excellent domestic campaign, finishing second in the Serbian SuperLiga with 76 points.
Now set for their first competitive fixture of the season, Miroslav Tanjga’s side warmed up for Thursday’s Europa League qualifier with a confident 3-0 friendly win against Universitatea Cluj last week.
Dejan Zukic, Lazar Randjelovic and Njegos Petrovic got their names on the scoresheet in a routine win for the Serbs.
The Serbian side have been in mixed form in the early part of pre-season, with a win, a draw and a loss recorded from three warm-up fixtures.
Back in Europe after a one-year absence, Vojvodina have struggled in previous home European fixtures. The Tulips lost three of their last four continental fixtures in Serbia.
Ferencvaros Bring European Pedigree
Ferencvaros make the trip to Serbia after a confidence-building pre-season victory against Qarabag.
Balazs Borbely’s side claimed a 1-0 friendly win against the Azerbaijani champions, with Yusuf Bamidele scoring the only goal of the game.
A strong run of form since the end of last season has seen the visitors win eight and lose just one of their last 11 matches.
The Hungarian giants are one of the more experienced sides involved at this stage of Europa League qualifying. Borbely’s men reached the round of sixteen last season.
Ferencvaros secured some impressive victories during that excellent run, including outstanding road wins at RB Salzburg and Genk.
