Europa League, played Thursday, October 3rd, 2024
Here is our Ferencvarosi v Tottenham tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a Tottenham away win. Our confidence in this pick was high relative to other picks.
Ferencvaros bounced back from last week's 2-1 defeat away from home at Belgian side Anderlecht in their opening Europa League tie on the weekend when the Hungarian hosts registered a comprehensive 3-0 home win against Puskas, while Tottenham recorded a 3-0 win of their own at Old Trafford when they inflicted a heavy defeat upon a very ordinary and poor Manchester United side on Sunday afternoon.
Prior to the defeat in Belgium in their opening game of this season's Europa League, Ferencvaros had put together an impressive looking nine-game unbeaten sequence in all competitions which included a win on penalties against Bosnia-Herzegovina outfit Borac Banja Luka in the play-off tie of the Europa League.
Interestingly, five out of Ferencvaros' seven wins collected within these preceding nine games had actually been registered on their travels but having captured a 3-0 home win on the weekend in the domestic top flight, Ferencvaros will be grateful to be on home soil once again at the Groupama Aréna once more in Budapest on Thursday night.
In addition, Ferencvaros are unbeaten in each of their last 16 matches at their Groupama Aréna which includes picking up 11 wins in the process, so Pascal Jansen's side will feel confident about their chances here.
Onto Tottenham and the north London club inflicted a humiliating 3-0 defeat upon a poor and out of sorts looking Manchester United outfit at Old Trafford on Sunday and although Ange Postecoglou's side hit the road once again on Thursday night, the visitors will be brimming with confidence ahead of this matchday 2 clash.
The victory at Old Trafford became a fourth win on the trot in all competitions for Spurs who had previously picked up important wins in the League Cup against Coventry City, Premier League against Brentford and in last week's Europa League opener against Azerbaijan side Qarabag respectively.
Prior to this four-match winning streak though, Tottenham had produced a mixed bag of results and indeed had managed to collect just one win from their preceding six games overall, that coming in the form of a rousing 4-0 rout of Everton in their opening home league game of the season.
That said, Tottenham have registered six wins within their last nine games on the road and along with Sunday's dismantling of Manchester United, Spurs will also be feeling upbeat about their chances here at the Groupama Aréna in Budapest on Thursday night.
Ferencvaros v Tottenham Verdict
Ferencvaros have every reason to be looking forward to this home tie against Premier League opposition but although the hosts have been tough to beat on home soil of late, this is likely to be a tough assignment for Jansen's side and this upcoming encounter may be settled in a low-scoring affair.
Therefore, our main bet will be Under 2.5 goals @ 2.50
Other side bets worth considering:
Tottenham win & Under 3.5 goals @ 2.40
Correct Score: Tottenham 2-0 @ 7.50
