Tottenham travel to Budapest to take on Ferencvaros at the Groupama Arena in the UEFA Europa League this Thursday. Tottenham will be coming into this match full of confidence.

Not only have they won their last four games in a row, but they won their first Europa League game last week against Qarabag.

Ferencvaros, though, have won all six of their league games thus far this season, but haven't fared so well in European competition, falling to defeat to Anderlecht last week.

So who will come out on top in Budapest this week?


Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • This match will mark the first time that Ferencvaros and Tottenham have ever faced off on the European stage, despite both teams being regulars there in recent years. In fact, this will be the first time Tottenham have ever faced Hungarian opponents in Europe.
  • Ferencvaros actually have a strong record against English opponents in Europe. Only one English team - Leeds United, back in 1969 - have beaten them in Budapest, with other sides securing four draws and suffering five losses.
  • Tottenham have found away games hard to win in Europe in recent years, securing just one win on the road in their last nine games. That win came in November 2022 over Marseille thanks to goals from Clement Lenglet and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
  • Although Ferencvaros' league form has been fantastic, their European form this season has not been great. They were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Danish side Midtjylland, and only scraped into the Europa League with a penalty shootout win over Bosnian side Borac Banja Luka.
  • Tottenham forwards Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson will come into this game on fantastic runs. Solanke has scored in his last three games, while Johnson has found the net in each of his last four.

Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Prediction

Ferencvaros will hope to make this game a difficult, intimidating one for Tottenham, particularly given Spurs' relatively poor away record in Europe in recent years.

However, the Hungarian side were unable to defeat two far poorer sides than Ange Postecoglou's team at home earlier this season in Europe. More importantly, they did not look too hot against Anderlecht either.

The early kick-off and the trip to Budapest won't make this game easy, but Tottenham are riding the crest of a wave after crushing Manchester United at the weekend, and so they'll be confident of claiming another three points here.

Prediction: Ferencvaros 1-3 Tottenham


Ferencvaros vs Tottenham Betting Tips

Tip 1: Result - Tottenham to win.

Tip 2: Both sides to score - Yes (Tottenham are always likely to score, but their expressive style means that Ferencvaros should have at least some attempts on goal too).

Tip 3: Dominic Solanke to score for Tottenham - Yes (Solanke has scored three in three, and with Richarlison injured, is likely to start again here).
