Why Back Ferencvaros?

Last season, Ferencvaros lost only once during the Europa League group stage before advancing all the way to the Round of 16. This campaign, their strong form continues with four wins in five Europa League matches, including victories on the road against Vojvodina in Serbia and Twente in the Netherlands, both by 2-1 scorelines.

Gornik Zabrze, meanwhile, are relatively inexperienced on the European stage. This is only their fourth European tie since 2000, and they've managed just one win in 13 recent continental fixtures. Given that, Ferencvaros, with an implied win probability of 36.4%, looks like the safer bet to advance.
