Comments and predictions for Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur: Making a mess of the home team

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to make it five wins in a row in all competitions when they travel to the Groupama Arena in Budapest to face Ferencvaros in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

This match marks the first meeting between the two clubs and also the first time Spurs have faced opponents from Hungary.

Latest Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur team information

Ferencvaros are now at full strength and Jansen is expected to field a full-strength squad, with some changes from the side that beat Puskas Akademia last weekend.

Endre Botka, Gabor Szalai and Cristian Ramirez could be recalled to join Ibrahim Cisse in defence, although Raul Gustavo could also keep his place if Jansen opts for a back five. Philippe Rommens, meanwhile, could replace Habib Maiga to partner Mohammad Abu Fani in central midfield.

Adama Traore could switch from right to left if Kady is recalled, while Norwegian playmaker Kristoffer Zachariassen is expected to play centrally behind Barnabas Varga or Matheus Saldanha up front.

For Tottenham, Radu Dragusin is suspended after being sent off against Qarabag last week, while Richarlison (muscle injury) and Wilson Odobert (hamstring injury) are both still sidelined with injuries.

Destiny Udogie was substituted midway through Sunday's win over Man United with a thigh problem, while Son Heung-min has been absent entirely with a hamstring injury, and both players are doubtful for Thursday.

Postecoglou will look to make a number of changes to the starting line-up, with Archie Gray and Ben Davies likely to start at full-back, while Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr and Lucas Bergvall are all pushing for starting places in midfield.

Latest football prediction Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Hotspur

Since two consecutive defeats in the Premier League against Newcastle United (2-1) and Arsenal (0-1), Tottenham have turned things around and won all four of their most recent matches in all competitions by a combined score of 11-2.

Ange Postecoglou's side won 3-0 at home to Azerbaijani side Qarabag in their Europa League opener last week, despite playing with 10 men for over 83 minutes. Just three days later, they beat Manchester United by the same impressive scoreline.

Bruno Fernandes was sent off in the final minutes of the first half, but that did little to detract from Tottenham's dominance at Old Trafford, with goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke helping the visitors ease to victory and move up to eighth in the Premier League table, just three points off the top four.

Spurs are currently rated by the bookmakers as favourites to win the Europa League this season, but they go into the game against Ferencvaros having won just one of their last nine European away games (D2 L6) - a 2-1 win over Marseille in the Champions League in November 2022.

Tottenham have never faced Ferencvaros before, but Postecoglou has met the Hungarian side twice in his managerial career, leading Celtic to 2-0 home and 3-2 away wins in the 2021-22 Europa League group stage.

Since winning their sixth consecutive Hungarian title - and 35th in their history - last season, finishing 16 points clear of second-placed Ferencvaros, they have won 10, drawn two and lost two of their 14 competitive games this season.

Ferencvaros failed to qualify for this season's Champions League after losing 3-1 on aggregate to FC Midtjylland in the third qualifying round, but they booked their place in the Europa League thanks to a 3-2 penalty shootout win over Bosnia's FK Borac Banja Luka in the play-off round, after a 1-1 aggregate draw.

Under London-based Dutch coach Pascal Jansen, Ferencvaros lost 2-1 to Anderlecht in their Europa League opener last week, with Adama Traore's fifth goal of the season just a consolation four minutes from time.

However, Ferencvaros quickly recovered and continued their perfect run in the Hungarian top flight after beating Puskas Akademia 3-0 in the top flight last weekend, thanks to a superb second-half hat-trick from Matheus Saldanha.

Ferencvaros are preparing for their toughest test yet in this season's Europa League group stage, but they can take comfort from having lost just one of their last 10 European home games (W5 D4) against English opposition - a 3-0 defeat to Leeds United in 1969 in the European Cup. While Ferencvaros are considered one of the weaker teams in this season's Europa League, they will be hoping to cause Tottenham problems on Thursday, and Postecoglou's side should not be taken lightly. However, even with the Australian making changes to his starting line-up, it is difficult not to back Spurs to win this game.
