Ferencvaros vs Malmo Preview

• Competition: UEFA Europa League.
• Date: Thursday, November 28.
• Time: 8:00 PM GMT.
• Venue: Groupama Arena.

Ferencvaros vs Malmo will be played on November 28 in the UEFA Europa League as the 14th-placed side gears up to host the team in 28^th place in what promises to be an exciting match.

The hosts will enter this contest on the back of a strong run of form. They have won three and drawn two of their last five matches across competitions, exhibiting a great willingness to remain unbeaten. In that run, they have scored 12 goals and conceded just six as they will look to extend this run. They secured a handsome 4-0 win against Dynamo Kyiv in their last outing in the competition and will look to carry that forward in their next game as well.

Malmo, on the other hand, will enter their next game on the back of a mixed run of form. They have won two, drawn one and fallen to two defeats in their last five matches across competitions as their search for consistency continues. They have netted seven times in this span and conceded seven goals as well and will look to shut up shop in defence in the next match. They lost 2-1 to Besiktas last time out and will hope to perform better.

With that said, let’s take a look at the team news from both camps.

Ferencvaros vs Malmo Team News

Ferencvaros Team News

Manager Pascal Jansen fielded a strong lineup in his team’s last Europa League match. However, the 4-0 win was marred by an injury to a key player, who may miss the next match. Centre-back Ibrahim Cisse was injured and subbed off early in the second half. Apart from him, manager Jansen will have every other player fit and available for selection.

Malmo Team News

Manager Henrik Rydstrom fielded a full-strength lineup in the last match but they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Besiktas. While no players picked up any fresh injuries or suspensions following that match, they will have four players out for the next one. Sead Haksabanovic, Stefano Vecchia, Niklas Moisander and Anton Tinnerholm have picked up injuries and will remain out for the foreseeable future.

Ferencvaros vs Malmo Head-to-Head Record

These two sides have never previously faced each other in a competitive match. This means the upcoming Europa League fixture will be the first competitive meeting between Ferencvaros and Malmo.

Key Players to Watch

Barnabas Varga (Ferencvaros)

The Hungarian striker has led his team from the front so far in their Europa League campaign this season. With three goal contributions to his name, Varga is the top contributor for his team so far and will look to carry that on in the next game too. Deployed mainly as a striker, he likes to link play with his teammates as they build towards goal.

Erik Botheim (Malmo)

The forward has been the top contributing player for Malmo so far in the Europa League this season as he has produced two goals for his team. The next few games will hold a lot of importance in terms of qualification so Botheim will look to stay focussed for this run.

Ferencvaros vs Malmo Prediction

Given that there are no past meetings to go by, predicting this game is quite the challenge. However, Ferencvaros seem to be more of the in-form team as shown in their recent form guide. Meanwhile, Malmo have fallen to two defeats of late and seems susceptible to the same. Playing away from home would also be a challenge.

Prediction: Ferencvaros 2-1 Malmo.
