Ferencvaros carry a narrow 1-0 advantage from the first leg into the Groupama Aréna, and Trabzonspor need a result just to survive. The Hungarian side have been quietly impressive across their last stretch of competitive matches, and Fatih Tekke’s side arrive in Budapest having lost that opener without even troubling the scoreboard. What makes this tie genuinely interesting is that Trabzonspor are not without weapons going forward, yet their recent form is patchy enough to raise real doubts about whether they can overturn the deficit against a Ferencvaros team playing with confidence at home.
Two players worth watching closely: Kristoffer Zachariassen has been one of the more influential midfielders in Ferencvaros’s recent run, contributing 2 goals and an assist across his last six appearances with a pass accuracy pushing 96%. For Trabzonspor, Mohamed Salah brings 2 goals in 4 appearances and leads the Turkish side in shot volume with 19 attempts, making him the most likely source of anything dangerous going forward.
Hot stat: Trabzonspor have attempted 98 total shots across their last five matches compared to Ferencvaros’s 71, yet the Hungarian side have been more clinical, converting 6 goals to Trabzonspor’s 5 from noticeably fewer efforts.

Ferencvaros vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Ferencvaros are in a position most home sides would welcome: a one-goal lead, familiar ground, and an opponent whose form over the past month has been genuinely poor. Trabzonspor have won just 2 of their last 7 matches and lost 4, which is not the kind of momentum you want heading into an elimination tie away from home. Ferencvaros, by contrast, have won 4 of their last 9 and their last five league and cup results suggest a team that is defensively organised and hard to break down.
We think the most valuable bet here is a Ferencvaros win or draw on the double chance, but the straight home win at odds around 2.80-2.98 is honestly worth serious consideration. Balázs Borbély’s side have shown they do not need to score in bundles to progress, and their 1-0 result in the first leg was controlled rather than lucky. Trabzonspor need to attack, which opens space on the counter, and Ferencvaros have the pace in their forward line to exploit that.
Trabzonspor’s defensive record is a concern too. They conceded in their last match against Basaksehir, lost to Goztepe before that, and their two red cards across the last five games have disrupted their shape. Their pass accuracy sits noticeably lower than Ferencvaros in raw numbers, and their foul count across five matches is only 46 compared to Ferencvaros’s 96, which sounds disciplined but may also reflect a team that sometimes avoids the physical contest. Ferencvaros are more aggressive in the press and in the tackle, and at home that intensity tends to compound.

Team Analysis
Ferencvaros have been remarkably consistent in tight matches lately. Their last five results include the 1-0 first-leg win over Trabzonspor, a 1-0 victory over Zalaegerszegi, a 1-1 draw against Gornik Zabrze, a 1-2 loss to Real Madrid, and a 1-0 win over Gornik Zabrze before that. The pattern is clear: this is a team that keeps scorelines low and finds a way to grind out results. The Real Madrid loss is the only real blemish, and that came against arguably the best club side on the planet. Their overall form over the last 30 days reads as 4 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws from 9 matches, a 44% win rate that understates how defensively solid they have been.
Trabzonspor’s recent form tells a different story. They did beat Basaksehir 2-1 in their most recent outing, which offers some encouragement, but before that came the 0-1 loss to Ferencvaros in the first leg, a 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa, and a 1-2 defeat to Goztepe. Their last 7 matches produced just 2 wins and 4 losses. The win over Udinese earlier in the campaign showed they can perform against European-level opposition, but consistency has been missing. Ernest Muci has been one of the brighter sparks with 1 goal and 2 assists and 14 shots in five games, and Ruslan Malinovskyi brings quality on the ball, but the team around them has not been reliable enough.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Trabzonspor the Favourite
- Moneyline Ferencvaros 2.90 | Trabzonspor 2.27
- Draw 3.25
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The bookmakers making Trabzonspor slight favourites at around 2.27 is a bit of a puzzle given the context. Yes, the aggregate is only 1-0 and yes Trabzonspor have attacking options, but Ferencvaros are the home team, they won the first leg, and their recent form is objectively better. The ~2.90 on the home win looks like value to us. The draw price at 3.25 is also interesting if you think Ferencvaros might sit on their lead, but we think Borbély’s side will look to extend it rather than park. Honestly, the market seems to be pricing in more Trabzonspor attacking threat than their last five matches actually justify.
Possible Starting Lineups
Ferencvaros Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Dénes Dibusz
- DF: Toon Raemaekers, Mariano Gómez, Nathan Zohore, Attila Osváth
- MF: marius corbu, Callum O’Dowda, Kristoffer Zachariassen, Philippe Rommens
- FW: Lenny Joseph, Bamidele Isa Yusuf
Dibusz has been the regular starter in goal and is the clear first choice. The back four picks itself based on appearances, with Raemaekers and Gómez providing defensive solidity and Olivér Nagy a strong option off the bench if width is needed. Corbu has been excellent in the deeper midfield role with 2 goals and strong passing numbers, and Zachariassen next to him gives Ferencvaros a goal threat from midfield. Lenny Joseph leads the forward line in a 4-2-3-1 shape that mirrors their recent setup, with Yusuf offering physicality in the wider forward role. Zachariassen is the one to watch.
Trabzonspor Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: André Onana
- DF: Chibuike Nwaiwu, Stefan Savić, Wagner Pina, Mustafa Eskihellaç
- MF: Melih Kabasakal, Benjamin Bouchouari, Ruslan Malinovskyi, Sidny Lopes Cabral
- FW: Mohamed Salah, Paul Onuachu
Onana has been the most active goalkeeper in terms of saves across the last five matches with 15, which tells you something about the defensive pressure Trabzonspor have been under. Nwaiwu has played all six matches in the data and is a key defensive presence, though his two red cards are a concern. Malinovskyi and Cabral provide the creative link between defence and attack in a 4-2-3-1 shape, and Salah up front alongside Onuachu gives Tekke a physical and dynamic front pairing. Salah’s shot volume and goal threat make him the most dangerous player on the pitch for Trabzonspor, and Ferencvaros’s backline will need to track him carefully.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Ferencvaros are in the driving seat and we see no strong reason to expect Trabzonspor to overturn the deficit. The Turkish side have been inconsistent, concede too often, and are travelling to a stadium where Ferencvaros are well-drilled and motivated. Their last five matches produced just 5 goals and their shot conversion is low. Trabzonspor shoot a lot but do not score enough, and against a well-organised Ferencvaros defence, that gap could be exposed again.
We are backing a Ferencvaros win and under 2.5 goals. The home side have kept things tight all campaign and Trabzonspor’s attacking output, despite the volume of shots, has not been convincing enough to suggest they will suddenly find a two-goal turnaround in Budapest. Maybe Salah changes the picture, but the structure around him is not reliable enough to bank on it. Ferencvaros to win, clean sheet is the bold call, and the value is there at the current prices.
