Viktoria Plzen vs Ferencvaros Preview

- Date: 20th February 2025

- Venue: Doosan Arena
After a close game last week, we have Viktoria Plzen vs Ferencvaros in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League playoff on Thursday. The away side comes into the game with a slender 1-0 advantage and will be the favorites going into the match.
Viktoria Plzen is not in great form and has lost 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions. They won 2-0 away at Teplice during the weekend and would be hoping to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since late January.
They have been eliminated from the knockout stages in each of their four appearances when they have lost the first leg. They would be keen on breaking the trend and winning this week, as they are at home – where they have not lost any of the matches when they are playing the second leg.
Plzen have lost three of their last 4 matches in the European competition after having lost just once in their previous 15. They need to get on the scoresheet this week to have any chance of making it to the next round.
Ferencvaros have not been on a winning run but they have lost just once in the last 5 matches in all competitions – a 1-0 defeat to Puskas Akademia earlier this month. They have won their last two matches – one of them against Viktoria Plzen – and have drawn the two matches before their defeat.
The Hungarian side have lost each of their six matches away from home to Czechia sides in European competitions. Their last loss was to Slavia Prague – a 1 -0 defeat in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League qualifiers.
However, they have kept three clean sheets in the UEFA Europa League this season – their most in Europe since 2002/03 – and would be fighting for another one as that would help them qualify for the next round.
