The return leg of the Europa League second qualifying round between Ferencvaros and Twente promises to be an intriguing affair. In the first leg, the Hungarian club secured a 2-1 comeback victory on the pitch thanks to a brace from Lenny Joseph. This gives Ferencvaros an advantage heading into the home leg, as they have an impressive unbeaten run at home, having not lost in Budapest since January. Twente, however, will face a difficult task of recovering, and their European away record leaves much to be desired—only two wins in their last 13 matches.
Both teams have strong attacking lines and will be targeting goals. Ferencvaros boasts Joseph and Zachariassen in attack, while Twente boasts new signing Wout Weghorst, who is capable of capitalizing on any opportunity. At the same time, both teams' defenses don't look impenetrable: Twente regularly concedes in away matches (with a goal in each of their last nine away matches), while Ferencvaros has also failed to keep a clean sheet in three of their four competitive matches this season. Statistics and analysts suggest both teams will score.
Given Twente's need to bounce back, their attacking potential and defensive problems, as well as Ferencvaros's good form and home support, the most likely scenario is a goal-scoring tie. The visitors are expected to play aggressively from the start, creating space for the hosts to counterattack.
