Can Ferencvaros maintain their unbeaten home record in this season's Europa League? The Hungarian side host the first leg of this last 16 tie against Braga. The Green Eagles will hope to be flying high on Thursday. Read our match prediction below.
Ferencvaros finished 12th in the league phase and like their opponents in this last 16 tie, they only lost one of their eight games. That took them into the Knockout Play-off Round where Ludogorets Razgrad were beaten 3-2 but not without a massive struggle.
Another tough tie awaits them in this round as they take on Portugal's Braga. They finished sixth in the league phase to automatically qualify for the last 16. As the form section of this preview will reveal, they have a strong defence, especially on the road. Five of their matches in the league phase were won and the Archbishops will be confident of securing a good result to take home to Portugal.

Ferencvarosi Budapest & SC Braga Squad Analysis
Ferencvaros have scored in all five of their home Europa League games this season. Their top scorer in this competition is Barnabas Varga, who scored four goals in six appearances. His strong performances earned him a move to AEK Athens in the January window. The hosts will now look to Yusuf Bamidele as the main attacking threat, who has scored three goals and provided three assists in the 2025-26 UEL campaign.
The home side do not have any new injuries for this game. They have won their last five matches in all competitions with both teams scoring in five of the last seven played. Ferencvaros have conceded in four home European ties this season so that's a concern.
Look out for Zalazar.
Rodrigo Zalazar is the player that Ferencvaros need to keep an eye on. He has had a hand in all of their last seven goals, scoring five times and making a couple of assists. They will be without Victor Gomez who is suspended for this game against Ferencvaros.
Who will open the scoring in this game? It could well be Braga as they have scored the first goal in all but two of their last ten fixtures. Early bookings are also a feature of their Europa League games with one in three of their four league phase matches.
