Prediction: 2-1
Ferencvaros
Real Betis will look to make amends for a heavy 4-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen when they host Ferencvaros to their Estadio Benito Villamarin on Thursday evening. Los Beticos are eager to book their place in the Europa League playoffs, and they should take advantage of Ferencvaros’ shaky defence. The Andalusians impressed in a 3-0 win over Elche at the weekend, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. All Camarasa, Rodri, and Sabaly should all miss out with injuries, while Nabil Fekir is banned.
The Hungarians, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of Group G, with the team losing each of their four group games. Ferencvaros have nothing to play for in Thursday’s clash, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. When the two teams met in Budapest earlier in the process Betis outplayed Ferencvaros 3-1.
Highlighted Player (Aissa Mandi):
Aissa Mandi is a product of Reims’ youth school. After playing eight matches for Reims II in the 2009/2010 season, he started playing for the first team in 2010. Mandi made his Reims debut against Le Havre on 20 August, 2010 and he remained at Stade Auguste Delaune until 30 June, 2016, when he decided to join Spanish side Real Betis.
The Algeria international, who was born in Chalons-en-Champagne, France, signed a five-year contract with los Beticos which expires on 30 June, 2021. His main position is centre back, but he is capable of playing as a full back as well. The right-footed defender made his Algeria debut on 5 March, 2014 and he helped the Algerian national team keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Slovenia.
Mandi impressed at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, but he scored his first goal for Algeria in a 3-3 draw with Ethiopia in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. He represented Algeria at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations as well.
Highlighted Team (Ferencvaros):
Established back in 1899, Ferencvaros are the most successful Hungarian club. The Zold Sasok clinched their 30th domestic trophy in the 2018/2019 season, but they eventually failed to book their place in the Champions League. Dinamo Zagreb proved to be a big catch for Ferencvaros in the Champions League play-offs, but the Green Eagles booked their spot in the Europa League group stages for the first time ever the same season.
Ferencvaros are well known for their green and white home kit, but they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels. Ujpest are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, whilst Ferencvaros and MTK Budapest face each other in the Eternal derby.
Honved are seen as the club’s bitter rivals as well. Back in 1975 the Zold Sasok made it to the UEFA Cup Winner’s Cup, with the team losing to Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev in the title game. Sandor Kocsis, who scored 75 goals in 68 appearances for the Hungarian national team, is the club’s most notable footballer.
