Ferencvaros welcome Plzen to the Groupama Arena on Thursday night, and the Ferencvaros vs Plzen betting odds have the hosts as favourites in this Europa League fixture, for good reason.
Balázs Borbély's side are unbeaten in 14 matches in all competitions and won 3-1 at Celtic last time out in Europe. They are not short of confidence.
Plzen are a different story. A 3-0 home defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise left them still waiting for their first Europa League goal of the season.
Previous meetings between the clubs have split evenly, with one win apiece and one draw. Current form, though, points firmly towards the home side.
Ferencvaros vs Plzen Form
Ferencvaros have won six of their last 10 matches against all opponents. Their latest domestic outing was a frustrating draw with Debrecen, with Marius Corbu's opener cancelled out by a stoppage-time penalty. In Europe, Bamidele Yusuf is the danger man. He has been involved in nine of their last 16 Europa League goals and was the star turn at Celtic.
Plzen have won two of their last 10 matches against all opponents, though they did bounce back at the weekend by beating Mladá Boleslav 3-0, with Stefan Pirgic and Christophe Kabongo striking early. Patrik Hrošovský remains crucial to controlling the tempo, but the attack has yet to deliver in Europe this season, and that is the problem.
Ferencvaros vs Plzen Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Ferencvaros: Bence Ötvös (Injured/out)
Plzen: Jan Paluska (Injured/out), Matěj Vydra (Injured/out), Václav Jemelka (Injured/out)
Ferencvaros
Borbély is without Bence Ötvös but otherwise has most of his preferred options available, so the probable Ferencvaros vs Plzen lineups favour the hosts. The defensive structure behind their long unbeaten run stays intact. Marius Corbu, on target against Debrecen, anchors the engine room alongside Ádám Nagy, while Kristoffer Zachariassen operates further forward after scoring at Celtic.
Plzen
Radoslav Kováč is without Matěj Vydra, Václav Jemelka and Jan Paluska, which thins his options in defence and attack. Florian Wiegele continues in goal behind a back three including Denis Vavro, and Patrik Hrošovský partners Stefan Pirgic in midfield. Prince Adu leads the line, and he needs far more support than Plzen gave their attack in Europe last time.

Ferencvaros vs Plzen Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Ferencvaros 2-1 Plzen. The hosts have the momentum, the home crowd and the sharper attacking players, but Plzen's weekend response suggests they will not roll over like they did against Union Saint-Gilloise. Ferencvaros look the side to back for the win on current form.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Ferencvaros are favourites at home, but Plzen have enough attacking threat to score too. This is the lead pick of our Ferencvaros vs Plzen best bets, with our projections putting both teams scoring at 61%. Jemelka's absence leaves Plzen short at the back, and Ferencvaros were breached late by Debrecen, so a clean sheet at either end is hard to see.
Kristoffer Zachariassen Over 2.5 in the Player Shots market. He is Ferencvaros' attacking midfielder and should get shooting chances at home. Zachariassen operates centrally behind Ádám Bagi and was on target at Celtic, so the volume should be there. With Ferencvaros projected for 1.77 goals at home, he should see plenty of the ball in shooting areas.

Ferencvaros vs Plzen Talking Points
Borbély is still waiting for his first home league win in charge, which is an odd footnote for a side unbeaten in 17 at home. Europe has been kinder, with Daniel Arzani scoring on his return to Celtic Park, and that attacking spread is the crux of our Ferencvaros vs Plzen prediction. For Plzen, the question is simple. Can Prince Adu, Alexandr Sojka and Denis Višinský finally give Kováč a European goal? If not, this gets messy for the visitors quickly.
