FC Twente vs Ferencvaros prediction 23.07.2026 | UEFA Europa League Qualification

FC Twente return to competitive action after a mixed pre-season campaign saw them win two, lose one and draw one of four pre-season friendly fixtures.

John van den Brom’s side picked up victories against PAOK of Greece, and Scottish opponents Aberdeen before a 2:2 draw against Gent and a 2:0 defeat against the Belgians in a pair of friendly matches. 

The Dutch side finished last season in solid form, winning seven and losing two of their last 11 competitive fixtures. However, they finished the campaign on a low-note, losing 5:1 at PSV on the final day of the season.

The hosts are usually involved in high-scoring matches. Seven of their last nine competitive fixtures finished with at least three goals scored.

Head coach Van den Brom has added five new players to his squad. Ramiz Zerrouki, Wout Weghorst, Aske Adelgaard and Krzysztof Kurowski could make their competitive debuts for Twente this week.

Ferencvaros make the trip to the Netherlands after a convincing first-round success against Vojvodina.

Balazs Borbely’s side claimed a 2:1 away victory in Serbia before completing the job with a dominant 3:0 home win in Budapest.

The Hungarians have been in excellent form since the end of last season, losing just one of their last 14 games, while remaining unbeaten in their last nine matches. More recently, Ferencvaros won each of their three games, including a friendly victory against Qarabag. 

Ferencvaros also ended last season strongly in Hungary, winning five of their final six matches in all competitions.

The visitors have plenty of European experience to call on this week. Borbely’s men finished 12th in last season’s Europa League, league phase, before falling at the round of sixteen stage.
