Ferencvarosi Budapest vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Going into this game, Bayer Leverkusen will draw confidence from their recent results and even the bookies have them as favorites to win, with odds of 2.05 while a win for the home team is priced at 3.75 and a draw at 3.91.

Ferencvaros aren’t doing well; a shaky run coming into this game has them on just one win in the last six matches. They have two straight losses coming into this game and the first of this was their away game at Leverkusen. In their most recent game, they scored a stoppage time consolation in a 2-1 home loss to 10-man Puskas. Three outings without a win and just one clean sheet in five will really work negatively on their psychological edge, and especially given they trail in this tie. The Hungarian side needs at the very least a 2-0 win to have any chance of progressing here but the fact that they aren’t doing well even at home paints a bleak picture. Ferencvaros have one win in the last five home matches and they have no clean sheet in the last four. However, they have scored in each of their last four home matches, and only won by two clear goals in one of the four games.

Bayer Leverkusen bring into this game a good recent run, with four wins in their last five matches. Four times in those previous five matches, have had Leverkusen scoring two or more goals but just like Ferencvaros, they will need to do some work on their defence. In the last 10 matches across all competitions, the Germans have registered just one clean sheet, though they have scored two or more in seven of their last eight matches. Six of Leverkusen’s last seven matches have had over 2.5 goals and in half of their last 10, they’ve conceded two or more goals. A 3-2 away win over Monaco in the last round of this competition highlighted their abilities on the road and they won’t be fazed coming into this one. Leverkusen have not lost in their last four away games, scoring three times in three of the four.
