Ferencvaros arrive at the Groupama Aréna with a 1-0 first-leg lead already banked from Turkey, and that scoreline shapes everything about this second leg.

The hosts have lost just once in their last four across competitions, while Trabzonspor's form reads L, D, L, W, patchy at best heading into a tie they now need to overturn.

Ferencvaros vs Trabzonspor Form and Head to Head

Ferencvaros go into this second leg unbeaten in three of their last four, with a win over Górnik Zabrze, a draw with the same opponent, a routine domestic win over Zalaegerszegi TE, and that crucial 1-0 first-leg victory over Trabzonspor. It's a run that shows composure across two competitions, and crucially, it includes the exact opponent they now face again.

Trabzonspor's ledger is messier. A friendly defeat to Göztepe, a draw with Kasımpaşa, the 1-0 first-leg loss to Ferencvaros, and a bounce-back win over Başakşehir FK in the Süper Lig.

That last result suggests some fight remains, but the aggregate head-to-head picture, Ferencvaros with two wins from three meetings in this pack's sample, only adds to the sense that the Hungarian side hold the psychological upper hand here.

Trabzonspor's Injury Curse Deepens the Task Facing Ferencvaros

Trabzonspor's build-up to this second leg has been complicated by three confirmed absentees.

Arseniy Batagov is out with a meniscus injury, Okay Yokuşlu is dealing with a muscle problem, and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli is also sidelined with a meniscus issue. That's a meaningful chunk of squad depth to lose ahead of a must-win night in Budapest, particularly when chasing a one-goal deficit against a side already riding momentum.

Ferencvaros, by contrast, have no injuries listed in the available data. No team news is confirmed beyond that, and no predicted lineup detail is available for either side in this pack, but the discrepancy in fitness concerns alone tilts the mood firmly toward the home dugout.

Trabzonspor's coaching staff will need contingency plans just to fill gaps, let alone find the attacking spark required to flip this tie.

Betting Markets to Watch

Backing Ferencvaros to progress on aggregate looks the shrewdest angle given the first-leg cushion, though punters weighing up correct scores], both-teams-to-score, or anytime goalscorer markets will find plenty to chew over given Trabzonspor's need to attack. Market direction currently favours the hosts, reflecting that 1-0 advantage and Ferencvaros's superior recent form.

Ferencvaros vs Trabzonspor Prediction: Our Pick

Ferencvaros carry first-leg, edge into second leg, and the numbers back that stance. A 1-0 buffer from Turkey, a head-to-head record that favours the Hungarian club two wins to one, and a recent run of W, D, W, W against Trabzonspor's L, D, L, W all point the same direction.

Add in three confirmed Trabzonspor injuries and the picture only strengthens for the hosts.
