For the fifth time this season, Hungarian football's dominant force, Ferencváros, will face Bulgarian league leaders Ludogorets. These teams, with similar trajectories, clashed once before, most recently in the Europa League Round of 32, where goals from Duag and Son secured a 2-1 home victory. However, the second leg of this tie, with everything still to play for, will be played in Budapest, where Ferencváros defeated Ludogorets 3-0 in the Champions League qualifiers and 3-1 in the Europa League league stage. A similar result would allow the Green-Whites to overcome the deficit.
Ferencváros can believe they have a chance to avoid elimination even though they haven't won any of their last four Europa League matches, as they have been more than strong at home, boasting an eight-game unbeaten streak with six wins.
Ludogorets, who won their domestic league 14 times in a row, are strangely far from the top of the table this season. Being eliminated on Thursday would be a major blow, and it is not improbable; they have won only one of their last 20 away matches in the Europa League, including one against their Thursday opponent.

Our Ferencvarosi Budapest vs Ludogorets Prediction
Ferencváros will need to do their best to tightly mark Leeny Joseph, Ludogorets' in-form player. Meanwhile, it appears the home side rotated their squad in their league match to ensure they are fresh for Thursday's game.
Ferencváros won 3-1 in this Europa League match and previously 3-0 against Ludogorets at the Groupama Arena, taking the lead and scoring a first-half goal in both games. They'll surely want to repeat that feat a third time.
Our prediction for Ferencváros vs Ludogorets is: Ferencváros to qualify to the next round.
