Ferencváros made it 16 successive matches unbeaten over the weekend and will next look to maintain that record in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) at the expense of Torreense.
Match News and Current Form
With two wins from two matches in this season’s UEL, Ferencváros sit in the top eight of the league phase table as they look to qualify for the knockout stage for a third campaign running. Across those three seasons, the Hungarian side have now won 13 games in total, a figure that only French giants Lyon can better in the UEL in that time (15), and with nine of those 13 wins coming on home soil, a return to Groupama Arena will be welcomed. That belief is further reinforced by the fact Ferencváros haven’t lost on home soil since late January (W14, D4), a run that has now seen them score 2+ goals on 15 separate occasions!
Still enjoying the euphoria of their maiden European campaign in club history, Portuguese second-tier outfit Torreense have already experienced the highs and lows of UEL football as, after winning 2-1 on their debut, they then fell to a 93rd minute defeat on matchday two. That loss against Premier League outfit Sunderland saw them drop points from a winning position for the first time in competitive action this season, so now manager Luís Tralhão will be keen for his side to respond here to maintain their unlikely push for the knockouts. The visitors need to improve their attacking output in particular here though, as they generated just 0.04 xG last time out in the UEL - the lowest total by a team in the competition since January 2025!
Head-to-Head History
