The tie remains wide open after the first match ended 0–0.

Let’s take a closer look at the current form of both teams and provide our match prediction.

Ferencváros

Ferencváros entered the Champions League qualification in the second round, beating Azerbaijani side Noah twice. However, early in the season the “Green Eagles” have shown defensive vulnerability, making numerous errors — the aggregate score against Noah was 6–4.

In the first match against Ludogorets, the Hungarian champions focused more on defensive stability and managed to keep a clean sheet, but lacked attacking sharpness despite having the edge in possession and shots on target. So far, Ferencváros have yet to find the right balance between defense and attack.

Ludogorets

At home, Ludogorets usually dominate possession and play on the front foot, but Ferencváros denied them that luxury last week. The Bulgarian champions have already eliminated Dinamo Minsk and Rijeka, but both ties were decided in extra time, showing that these matches did not come easy.

Ferencváros are the toughest opponent in this run so far, and away from home, Ludogorets will likely sit deeper and rely on counterattacks — just as they did in the first leg.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Since 2019, the two sides have met seven times, with Ferencváros having the clear upper hand: 4 wins to 1, with 2 draws.

Last week’s meeting ended 0–0, but Ferencváros looked the better side even away from home: xG (expected goals) — 1.78 vs 0.52, possession — 59%, shots — 17:10. However, accuracy was lacking for both teams, with only 2 shots on target in total — both for Ferencváros.

Prediction

Our prediction for Ferencváros vs Ludogorets is in favor of the hosts. They looked stronger in the first leg and will likely dominate again in front of their home fans. The recommended bet is a Ferencváros win at odds of 1.68.
