Ferencvarosi TC

vs

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad

Preview

Ferencvarosi TC (Home)

• Ferencvarosi TC will host PFC Ludogorets Razgrad in what is likely to be a very close matchup on Thursday in the UEFA Europa League 2025-2026 as both sides look to secure a place in the Round of 16.
• Robbie Keane’s side are the clear favorites at 1.63 with Ludogorets at 4.8 and the draw at 4.0, which reflects the fact that the Hungarian side have home advantage and need to push forward to win the matchup while the visitors only need to avoid a two-goal defeat to progress.
• However, a 0-4 defeat at Nottingham Forest highlights defensive frailties that could be exposed if Ludogorets get chances on the break.
• Keane has installed a high-tempo, possession-based style on the team with his wide overloading and high-press strategy designed to dominate the territory and create chances for his side.
• Barnabás Varga is their main goal threat, consistently delivering in Europe and domestically.

PFC Ludogorets Razgrad (Away)

• Per-Mathias Høgmo’s Ludogorets are a more pragmatic and adaptive side after he took over at the end of 2025.
• The Eagles are among the league leaders in the Bulgarian First League and have won their last six in all competitions.
• They are a compact block in deep, but have pace in wide areas and a clear game plan to get forward on the counter.
• Kwadwo Duah leads the line for Ludogorets, scoring the opener in the first-leg and having the pace to get at the opposition defence, especially when they have the ball wide and in their own half.
• Caio and Pedrinho provide the creativity, but Olivier Verdon is a threat from set pieces and can be a solid presence at the heart of the defence.

Head-to-Head

• Ludogorets lead their UEFA Europa League 2025-2026 knockout round tie 2-1 after victory in the first leg at home.
• Ferencvarosi TC have won three of their last five European games against Ludogorets, including a 3-1 win in Hungary in November 2025.

Key Players

• Ferencváros:
  • Barnabás Varga is their main goal threat, consistently delivering in Europe and domestically.
  • Gavriel Kanichowsky is the creative spark in Ferencváros’ midfield, but they also have Bamidele Isa Yusuf to provide pace and directness in attack.
  • Yusuf scored in the first-leg, but it is likely to be Varga who is on set pieces and taking most of the chances in the penalty area.
• Ludogorets:
  • Kwadwo Duah leads the line for Ludogorets, scoring the opener in the first-leg and having the pace to get at the opposition defence, especially when they have the ball wide and in their own half.
  • Caio and Pedrinho provide the creativity, but Olivier Verdon is a threat from set pieces and can be a solid presence at the heart of the defence.
