Europa League Qualifier Preview: Ferencvaros vs Twente

Ferencvaros will host Twente in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round at 02:30 Beijing time on July 31, 2026.

In the first meeting, Ferencvaros won 2-1 away from home and now hold the aggregate advantage. They only need to avoid defeat in this match to progress, so motivation should be high. Ferencvaros recently lost 4-2 to Paks in the domestic league, ending a four-game winning run in all competitions and showing a slight dip in form. At home, however, they have been formidable, going unbeaten in their last 11 home matches with 10 wins and 1 draw.

In terms of attack and defence, Ferencvaros have scored 10 goals and conceded 6 in their last five matches. Their attacking output has been strong at an average of two goals per game, but their defence has not been entirely stable.

Twente lost the first leg and now head into this away match needing a victory to complete a comeback. The team recently beat Emmen 3-0 in a friendly, ending a two-game losing streak and showing signs of improvement. Away from home, Twente have posted 5 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat in their last 10 away matches, which is a respectable return and reflects decent road form.

Twente have scored 9 goals and conceded 8 in their last five matches. Their attack has looked sharp, but defensive issues remain. In addition, the club have limited recent European experience, reaching the Europa League proper only once in the past decade, which suggests a relatively modest edge at this level.

Ferencvaros carry a 2-1 lead from the first leg and also have the backing of an outstanding home record. Twente have shown some improvement recently, but with defensive instability and limited European pedigree, turning the tie around away from home looks difficult. Based on the current form of both sides, Ferencvaros are favoured to avoid defeat at home.

Prediction: Ferencvaros to avoid defeat.
