Ferencvaros vs Viktoria Plzen Betting Tips - BTTS
With both sides eyeing a spot in the last 16, this fixture promises to be an open and competitive battle.
Ferencvaros secured their place in the knockout rounds after a thrilling 4:3 victory over AZ Alkmaar, finishing 17th in the League Phase with 12 points. However, Robbie Keane’s side have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, winning just one of their last five matches across all competitions.
Viktoria Plzen also finished the Europa League, league phase with 12 points but suffered a 3-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao on matchday eight, forcing them into this playoff. They have responded well domestically, winning 3:2 against Liberec last weekend, but their away form remains inconsistent, with three defeats in their last six road trips.
Both teams have seen plenty of high-scoring outcomes in European matches this season, and something similar seems likely in an evenly-balanced matchup.
Ferencvaros have seen BTTS in three of their last four home matches while Viktoria Plzen have been even more reliable for goals, with BTTS landing in eight of their last 10 away games, including their last four Europa League away fixtures.
With both teams showing plenty of attacking quality in the league phase - Ferencvaros scored 15 while Viktoria Plzen bagged 13 - and I expect both to net once more on Thursday.
BTTS is my top tip at the Puskás Aréna.
