Ferencvarosi TC vs FK Viktoria Plzen Predictions

• Ferencvaros are unbeaten in four (W3, D1).
• Plzen have lost twice on their travels in their domestic league.
• Ferencvaros beat Plzen at home in the Europa League last season.

Chance for revenge for Fernecvaros

Viktoria Plzen dumped Ferencvaros out of the Europa League in the play-off round last season and the Hungarian outfit have a chance to take a bit of revenge on Thursday in the opening batch of league phase fixtures.

Plzen won that tie 3-1 on aggregate but they had to fight back after defeat in the first leg at this venue.

Ferencvaros come into this game in good form with three wins and no losses in their last four games, while Plzen’s road results have been mixed.

Miroslav Koubek’s side have lost twice on their travels in five games in the Czech top tier. They have won twice but both of those victories came against teams currently in the division’s relegation group, and they were beaten 3-0 by Rangers at Ibrox in Champions League qualifying.

At an odds-against price, a win for Robbie Keane’s hosts looks a good option here and a 2-1 FTC win is the correct score pick. Plzen have scored in each of their last six games and Ferencvaros have conceded in four of their six European outings this season, so goals at both ends looks likely in Budapest but the hosts should have enough quality to grind out a win.
