Can Ferencvaros upset the Spaniards?
The second matchday of the UEFA Europa League is on the agenda and the Hungarians of Ferencvaros will be hoping to put in another good performance. The hosts should not be underestimated in any case.
In the run-up to the match between Ferencvaros and Betis Sevilla, the betting odds show that the visitors from Andalusia are favourites Especially in the individual area, the guest is equipped with some advantages. And winning the group is particularly rewarding this season, so there should also be enough motivation
However, it remains to be seen which face Betis Sevilla will show. Not everything is right yet, but the beginnings are positive. The match in Budapest kicks off on Thursday evening at 9 p.m.
Hungary Ferencvaros – Statistics & current form
The first familiar name at the hosts of Ferencvaros can be seen on the coach’s bench. Peter Stöger, on the sidelines at BVB and 1. FC Köln in the Bundesliga, has been the club’s coach since the summer. He has equipped Ferencvaros with even more confidence and, above all, flexibility.
The Hungarians play in a 4-3-3 for the most part and Ferencvaros have cut a good figure in the domestic league so far. There, the hosts are in second place with one game less and three points behind. In the Hungarian league, Budapest is very often the team that dominates the game, but in Europe it’s a different story. This is shown by the odds of the best bookmakers, which point to a favourite role for the guests
Ferencvaros lost their first match in the Europa League narrowly with 1:2 in Leverkusen. But the Stöger eleven showed that they can keep up very well. They also managed to beat Slavia Prague in the qualifying phase for the Champions League before losing to the strong Young Boys from Bern. Internationally, the Hungarians can be quite dangerous, especially at home.
Ferencvaros want to keep Betis busy
Of course, the most important thing for the Hungarians of Ferencvaros is their own offensive. The hosts have already scored three or more goals in six games, but at the same time it must be mentioned that these are often individually weaker opponents from Hungary. Nevertheless, the home side can play with determination and also display a certain efficiency.
However, every statistic also has its downside. Ferencvaros have already conceded two or more goals five times. The team has not yet found its balance, but Peter Stöger has often provided entertainment with his team. That could also be the case in this match.
Due to the good offensive of the hosts, our prediction before the match Ferencvaros against Betis Sevilla is that both teams will score. This has been the case in nine of 13 games this season and is therefore far from unlikely.
Predicted line-up of Ferencvaros:
Dibusz – Botka, Blazic, S. Mmaee, Cabraja – Besic, Loncar, Laidouni – Mak, Nguen, R. Mmaee

Spain Betis Sevilla – Statistics & current form
The guests from Sevilla have adjusted their squad in some positions during the summer. Coach of the team, however, is still Manuel Pellegrini, who plays a technically high-quality football. Betis Sevilla usually operate in the very classic 4-2-3-1, but this system is not boring. The Andalusians know how to create a spectacle.
This was shown in the first game of the Europa League against Celtic. Betis won 4:3 at home against the Scots, the game was very wild and varied for long stretches. Due to the offensive strength, among other things, our value tip before the game Ferencvaros vs Betis Sevilla is that more than 2.5 goals will be scored.
The focus is of course on striker Willian Jose. With four league goals, he is his team’s top scorer, but against Celtic he fell victim to rotation. In this game, however, he should start from the beginning. A win against Ferencvaros would be important for Betis Sevilla, as only the group winner is certain to reach the last 16 and their next opponents are Leverkusen.
Betis Sevilla want to continue their good series
The team’s form in recent weeks and months has been positive, however. Betis Sevilla have been winning frequently lately, but are above all difficult to beat. They have only lost once in their last 15 competitive games That was against Real Madrid, an absolute top team.
Consequently, the role of favourites for the visitors does not come as a surprise. The only thing that needs to be improved this season is the defence, because even though Betis Sevilla are not a shooting gallery, they have only played to nil once so far. Therefore, before the match between Ferencvaros and Betis Sevilla, our tip is that both teams will score goals. However, the visitors are more likely to come out on top in the end.
Predicted line-up of Betis Sevilla :
Rui Silva – Bellerin, Pezzella, Bartra, Alex Moreno – Rodriguez, Guardado, Fekir, Canales, Tello – Willian José

Hungary Ferencvaros – Betis Sevilla Spain Tip
Ferencvaros have quality in their squad, although not on all positions. Offensively, the Hungarians are performing at a good level, but the defence is shaky. Betis Sevilla, on the other hand, is a team that is above all technically fine.
The visitors are the favourites, but that is no guarantee for a win. All in all, there is much to suggest a good football match and ahead of the Ferencvaros vs Betis Sevilla match, our prediction at fair odds is that both teams will score
