Nottingham Forest
- Nottingham Forest come into this game on the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to European specialists SC Braga in the previous round, but they responded with a much-needed 2-0 win over Brentford in the Premier League at the weekend.
- Nottingham Forest have won two of their three home games in the Europa League this season, losing once.
Ferencvarosi TC
- Ferencvarosi TC are seventh in the UEFA Europa League 2025/2026 standings with 15 points from seven games, whilst Forest sit 16th with 11 points from the same number of matches.
- Keane’s side had an underwhelming start to the campaign, but his pressing and dynamic style is beginning to click with the team and they’re certainly a more exciting and positive team to watch.
- They drew 1-1 at home to Panathinaikos in the last round, but suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Gyori ETO FC in the NB I over the weekend.
- Ferencvarosi TC have avoided defeat in all three of their Europa League away games this season (W2, D1).
Key Players
- Igor Jesus leads Nottingham Forest's Europa League scoring charts with 4 goals in 5 games.
- Morgan Gibbs-White has contributed two goals in his last five matches for Forest, whilst Brazilian international Igor Jesus is a constant threat and should be backed in the anytime goalscorer odds.
Betting Insights
- The visitors are clearly the underdogs here with the bookmakers (5.5), whilst Forest are a slight favorite at 1.57.
- Keane’s team have scored five goals in three away Europa League games this campaign (1.67 per match) and are a threat when they get on the front foot.
- Meanwhile, Forest have hit a respectable 2.33 goals per match at home in the Europa League this term, so the over 2.5 goals market at 1.83 is very appealing here.
- Both teams to score at 1.85 is a tempting alternative bet.
Prediction
The home advantage and quality of Forest’s attacking players suggests that they should be able to win this game, but Ferencvarosi TC are a decent team and have proven they can avoid defeat on the road in Europe ( W2, D1 in their last three ).
