Our prediction for this Europa League match:
After failing to impress in the Champions League qualifiers, Ferencvaros will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Shamrock Rovers at Groupama Arena. The Hungarian champions head into the match following a 4-0 win over MOL Fehervar, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Adama Traore, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Defender Rasmus Thelander is unlikely to feature in Thursday’s clash after limping off with injury at the weekend. The Irish outfit, on the other hand, did well to eliminate Shkupi in the Europa League third qualifying round, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Thursday’s clash. Since Ferencvaros are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that Stephen Bradley’s troops are going to return to Dublin empty-handed.
