Overview
Ferencvarosi TC and Plzen face off in a cup tie with contrasting recent fortunes. Ferencvarosi sit 6th in the competition with 3 points, while Plzen are 34th with none. Last season, Ferencvarosi averaged 1.4 goals and 1.4 conceded per game over 12 matches, whereas Plzen had a tighter defense with 0.7 conceded per game but scored less, 1.1 per game in 10 matches. The rivalry is competitive, with a 1-1 draw and a 3-0 win for Plzen in their last four meetings.
Form & xG
Ferencvarosi TC have started the season strongly with a perfect 5-match winning run, scoring 2.8 goals per game and conceding just 0.6. They maintain 52.5% possession and average 6 corners per game. Plzen have struggled with two losses, no goals scored, and 3 conceded per game. Both teams’ xG data is unavailable this season, so last season’s baseline is crucial. Ferencvarosi’s 1.4 goals per game and Plzen’s defensive solidity (0.7 conceded) last season suggest a tight contest but with Ferencvarosi favored.
Team news & key players
Ferencvarosi’s key contributors include K. Zachariassen, who averages 2.63 shots and 0.53 on target per 90 minutes, with 1 goal and 1 assist so far. M. Gómez also contributes with 1.05 shots and on target per 90. Plzen’s most influential player is A. Memić, who has 1 goal, 3 assists, and 1.97 key passes per 90. However, Plzen’s defensive frailty is highlighted by 3 yellow cards per game and conceding 3 goals per match this season, compared to Ferencvarosi’s 1.4 yellows and 0.6 goals conceded.
Stats & betting angles
Ferencvarosi boast a 100% over 2.5 goals rate this season and a 60% BTTS rate, while Plzen also have 100% over 2.5 but 0% BTTS, reflecting their defensive struggles and lack of scoring. Corners favor Ferencvarosi heavily (6 vs 3.5), and they commit more fouls but fewer cards per game. Last season, Ferencvarosi had 3 clean sheets and scored in 10 of 12 games; Plzen had 5 clean sheets but failed to score in 3. This suggests a high-scoring game with both teams likely to find the net.
Verdict
Given Ferencvarosi’s strong attacking form and Plzen’s defensive issues, the prediction is a 2-1 home win with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals. The last season baseline and current form align, with Ferencvarosi’s higher shot volume and key players like Zachariassen and Gómez likely to break down Plzen’s defense. Plzen’s attacking threat through Memić may ensure a goal, but their recent losses and lack of scoring indicate a tough outing.
