Ferencvarosi TC

vs

FC Ujpest

Preview

Ferencvarosi TC

• Ferencvarosi TC are the favorites for Saturday’s Örökrangadó derby against FC Ujpest, but their recent home form is hardly compelling with no wins, one draw and one defeat from their last two outings at Groupama Arena.
• Robbie Keane has brought a very different dimension to the Ferencvarosi TC squad since assuming the head coach role in January 2025 - one that presses high, transitions quickly and creates width from multiple positions.
• His players like to set the tempo, but they can be pushed into a more reactive role by shrewd opponents.

FC Ujpest

• FC Ujpest are a better side on their travels, where their recent record reads four wins, three draws and three defeats in NB I 2025/2026, so they will like their chances at Ferencvarosi TC.
• Their away form of two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five is better than the host’s (one win, two draws and two defeats).
• With Zoltán Szélesi now much more involved in their tactics, their approach has become more structured and reactive.
• It’s not a particularly expansive set-up and Ujpest rely on being well-organised, particularly at the back, and posing a set-piece threat.

Head-to-Head

• Ferencvarosi TC sit 2nd in NB I 2025/2026 on 37 points from 20 games.
• FC Ujpest are 9th on 23 points from 20 games.
• Ujpest have not won on their last two visits to Ferencvaros, but have four wins, three draws and three defeats from 10 away in NB I 2025/2026.
