Ferencvarosi TC vs Trabzonspor Prediction: Key Stats and Betting Tips
Ferencvarosi TC welcome Trabzonspor to Groupama Arena in Budapest for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League play-off tie on 27 August 2026. With a place in the group stage on the line, this fixture has all the ingredients of a tense European night in Hungary.
The first leg in Trabzon ended 1-0 to Ferencvarosi TC at Papara Park, putting the Hungarian champions in control of the tie. Trabzonspor now travel knowing they must score at least once to have any chance of turning things around. For Ferencvaros, the objective is clear: manage the game, protect their advantage, and use their strong recent European form to finish the job at home.
Stats suggest a clash of profiles: Ferencvarosi TC arrive unbeaten in seven Europa League matches this season with impressive attacking numbers, while Trabzonspor are still trying to find their feet in the 2026 campaign after firing a blank in the first leg. With qualification, prize money, and valuable UEFA coefficient points at stake, the margins will be fine in Budapest.

While full group or league standings are not yet in play at the play-off stage, the broader Europa League statistics underline how differently these two sides have started the 2026 campaign. Ferencvarosi TC have already played 7 matches in the competition this season, winning 5 and drawing 2, with 12 goals scored and only 5 conceded. That level of consistency, combined with three clean sheets, paints the picture of a side that has grown comfortable in European qualifiers.
Trabzonspor, by contrast, have only one Europa League match on the 2026 ledger so far — the 1-0 home defeat to Ferencvaros. They failed to score, conceded early in the game, and never recovered. It means they arrive in Budapest with no attacking rhythm established in this competition and facing a side that has already built strong momentum.
Ferencvarosi TC vs Trabzonspor Key Matchups
B. Yusuf vs R. Malinovskyi
Ferencvarosi TC’s standout attacking figure in this Europa League campaign so far is B. Yusuf. The Nigerian forward has made 2 appearances, scoring 1 goal and collecting 1 yellow card. He features not only among the top scorers for Ferencvaros but also appears in the top assists and top yellow cards lists for the competition, underlining how central he is to their attacking and pressing game.
On the other side, Trabzonspor’s most recognisable creative presence is R. Malinovskyi. While individual Europa League 2026 stats for the Ukrainian midfielder are not broken out in detail here, his role as a senior playmaker in the squad is obvious. If Trabzonspor are to overturn the deficit, Malinovskyi’s ability to dictate tempo, deliver set-pieces and shoot from distance will be crucial in trying to unlock a Ferencvaros defence that has allowed only 0.7 goals per game across 7 matches.
Ferencvarosi defensive unit vs Trabzonspor forwards
Ferencvarosi TC’s defensive structure has been one of the stories of their Europa League run. With 3 clean sheets from 7 games and no defeats, they have combined a solid back line with disciplined game management. They have conceded just 5 goals, and a significant share of those have come late in games, suggesting they are generally well-organised but must stay focused in the closing stages.
Trabzonspor’s forward line, featuring options such as P. Onuachu, U. Nayir and C. Çanak, failed to find the net in the first leg and have no Europa League goals yet in 2026. With their goals-for column still at zero and an average of 0.0 goals per game, the pressure is firmly on their attacking players to raise their level in Budapest against a defence that has not yet been beaten at home in this campaign.
Head-to-Head: Last Meetings
These clubs have become familiar opponents in recent Europa League seasons, with meetings in both the 2022 group stage and the current 2026 play-off round. The head-to-head record shows competitive, often tight matches, with home advantage usually telling — until Ferencvaros’ statement win in Trabzon last week.
- 20 August 2026: Trabzonspor 0-1 Ferencvarosi TC (UEFA Europa League)
- 03 November 2022: Trabzonspor 1-0 Ferencvarosi TC (UEFA Europa League)
- 08 September 2022: Ferencvarosi TC 3-2 Trabzonspor (UEFA Europa League)
Ferencvarosi TC vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Everything points to a finely balanced second leg, but with Ferencvarosi TC holding the edge. They come into this match on the back of an unbeaten seven-game run in the Europa League this season, scoring in every outing and keeping three clean sheets. Their last-five form index is strong, with 7 goals scored and 4 conceded across that sample, and their attack rating in the comparison model comfortably outstrips Trabzonspor’s.
The probability model gives Ferencvarosi TC a 45% chance of winning the match in 90 minutes, with a 45% chance of a draw and only a 10% chance of a Trabzonspor victory. That suggests the most likely scenario is either a narrow home win or a controlled draw that sees the Hungarians through. Given Ferencvaros’ solid defensive record and Trabzonspor’s lack of goals so far in this campaign, another low-scoring encounter looks likely.
Predicted Score: Ferencvarosi TC 1-0 Trabzonspor
Ferencvarosi TC Recent Form
Ferencvarosi TC’s Europa League 2026 form is excellent. Across 7 matches, they have 5 wins and 2 draws, with no defeats. They average 1.7 goals scored per game and only 0.7 conceded, have kept 3 clean sheets and have yet to fail to score. Their biggest home win has been 3-0, and they have shown they can both dominate and manage tight margins, as evidenced by the 1-0 away success in Trabzon.
Trabzonspor Recent Form
Trabzonspor’s Europa League 2026 form is currently limited to a single match — the 1-0 home defeat to Ferencvarosi TC. That leaves them with a record of 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, no goals scored and 1 conceded. Their failed-to-score count stands at 1 from 1 match, and they have yet to keep a clean sheet. While the sample size is small, they enter this second leg with work to do and no positive European momentum to lean on.
Ferencvarosi TC Possible Starting Lineup
Likely key players (by position):
Goalkeepers: D. Dibusz, Á. Varga
Defenders: E. Botka, M. Gómez, Cadu, T. Raemaekers, G. Zohoré, B. Nagy
Midfielders: N. Keïta, Á. Nagy, P. Rommens, K. Zachariassen, H. Maïga, B. Ötvös
Forwards: B. Yusuf, J. Levi, K. Kodro, F. Kovačević, E. Acolatse, D. Arzani
Ferencvarosi TC have predominantly lined up in a 4-3-3 across 5 matches in this Europa League campaign, occasionally switching to 4-4-2. That suggests a front three led by the in-form B. Yusuf, supported by creative wide options such as J. Levi or E. Acolatse. In midfield, experience from players like N. Keïta and Á. Nagy provides balance between ball-winning and distribution, while the back four has been stable enough to deliver three clean sheets. With no defeats and strong home results, the tactical emphasis is likely to be on controlled possession, quick transitions and disciplined defensive structure.
Trabzonspor Possible Starting Lineup
Likely key players (by position):
Goalkeepers: A. Onana, O. Çevikkan
Defenders: S. Akaydin, C. Özkacar, S. Savić, A. Batagov, S. Lopes Cabral, M. Eskihellaç
Midfielders: R. Malinovskyi, O. Tufan, O. Yokuşlu, B. Bouchouari, M. Kabasakal, E. Muçi
Forwards: P. Onuachu, U. Nayir, C. Çanak, D. Drăguş, Mohamed Salah
Trabzonspor used a 4-2-3-1 in their only Europa League match so far in 2026, which suits their squad profile: a solid back four, a double pivot with players like O. Yokuşlu and M. Kabasakal, and a creative band of three behind a central striker such as P. Onuachu or U. Nayir. With the need to chase the tie, they may push more numbers forward, relying on the experience of Malinovskyi and Tufan to create chances. However, they must balance that attacking intent with the risk of conceding against a Ferencvaros side that has punished teams in transition.

Betting Tips: Ferencvarosi TC vs Trabzonspor
Exactly 3 distinct tips from different markets:
- Result Tip: Back Ferencvarosi TC Draw No Bet. The prediction model gives Ferencvaros a 45% chance of winning and Trabzonspor just 10%, with a 45% probability of a draw. The market, however, makes Trabzonspor a slight favourite: away odds range from 2.30 to 2.41 (implied probability roughly 41.5% to 43.5%), while home odds are between 2.75 and 2.93 (around 34.1% to 36.4%). Taking Ferencvaros on a safer Draw No Bet line (where available) leverages their unbeaten run and home advantage while protecting against the high draw probability.
- Goals Tip: Under 3.5 total goals. Ferencvaros average 1.7 scored and 0.7 conceded per game in this Europa League campaign, while Trabzonspor have yet to score and average 1.0 conceded. The primary advice from the prediction model is a combination of Ferencvaros and under 3.5 goals, which fits the pattern of tight H2H contests: the last three meetings have produced scorelines of 1-0, 1-0 and 3-2. With the tie finely poised and Ferencvaros already ahead, a controlled, lower-scoring match is likely. Look for under-goals odds around the standard ranges at major bookmakers.
- Value Tip: B. Yusuf to score anytime (where offered). The Ferencvaros forward has 1 goal in 2 Europa League appearances this season and appears across the top scorers, top assists and top cards lists, indicating heavy involvement in key actions. With Ferencvaros expected to create the better chances at home and Trabzonspor needing to open up at some stage, Yusuf should find spaces to exploit. Match-winner markets are tight, but player-goal markets may offer more generous prices relative to his importance in the Ferencvaros attack.
