Why Back Ferencvaros?

Last season, Ferencvaros lost only once during the group stage and made it all the way to the Round of 16, showing they have the experience and confidence needed. In the current 2026/27 Europa League, they've won four out of five matches, including both away games.

Their victories over Vojvodina (2-1 in Serbia) and Twente (2-1 in the Netherlands) demonstrate their strength on the road.

On the other hand, Gornik Zabrze have limited European exposure, with this being just their fourth continental tie since 2000. Their record includes only one win in the last 13 European games, making the visitors a strong candidate to claim victory. The odds imply a 36.4% chance of winning, suggesting good value.
