Interestingly, these teams met in the Europa League 1/16 Finals last season, with both teams winning their home games. Plzen won 3:0 in the Czech Republic and lost 1:0 in Hungary, eventually securing the 1/8 Finals on a 3:1 aggregate.
Before those two games, these teams had only met in two friendlies, which resulted in a 3:1 win for Plzen and a goalless draw.
Ferencvaros team overview
Ferencvaros have been a dominant force in Hungary, winning the last seven league titles. This year, they have had a slightly worse start as they sit in 4th place with 11 points - four away from the top spot, although with one game played less. The Hungarians started the European Qualifiers from the Champions League 2nd Round, where they managed to eliminate Noah and Ludogorets, but eventually lost to Qaraba on a 5:4 aggregate.
After a 2:2 draw, coach Robbie Keane spoke to the media. He has been very unhappy with the first half, conceding two goals that could have been easily prevented. When asked why he changed five players after the first half, he said he would have changed all ten if he could. Still, the coach eventually praised the substitutions, saying Gruber's two goals were fantastic.

Viktoria Plzen team overview
Viktoria Plzen have been mostly among the best teams in the Czech Republic, winning their last title in the 2021/22 season. Last year, they finished second, but not even remotely close to the title, as Slavia Prague left them 16 points behind. This season, similarly to their opponents, they haven't had the best start in the domestic league, considering they are sitting in fourth place with 15 points from nine rounds - already seven away from the top spot.
Viktoria also started their European Qualifiers from the second round of the Champions League. They eliminated Servette but lost to Rangers on a 4:2 aggregate.
After the latest game (2:1 loss) vs Sparta Prague, coach Miroslav Koubek spoke to the media. He said they allowed cheap goals which really hurt them. The coach said they had the chance to take points from Sparta, but blew the opportunity.

Prediction
Ferencvaros have been excellent offensively throughout the season, scoring at least one goal in 12 out of 13 games - 92%. They have also been really good for this bet in European Qualifiers, as both teams scored in four out of six games - 67%.
Viktoria Plzen scored at least once in 11 out of 14 games across the competitions - 79%. And in recent matches, we saw both teams scoring in four out of the last five games. They have generally struggled to keep a clean sheet on the road, only managing that once in eight matches.
Considering both teams' very good offensive displays and all the above, we believe both teams will score at least once in this Europa League tie.
3 Reasons why both teams should score
- Ferencvaros scored at least once in 12 out of 13 games this season - 92%
- Both teams scored in Viktoria's four out of six European Qualifiers matches
- Viktoria Plzen scored in 11 out of 14 games this season - 79%
