CSKA Moscow
Thursday’s Europa League game at Groupama Arena pits together Ferencvaros and CSKA Moscow, the two teams who are eyeing a place in the knockout stages of the competition. CSKA have slim chances of securing a top-two finish in Group H as they suffered a loss in each of their three group games. The Russian outfit travel to Hungary with the lack of confidence, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the hosts.
Since a win over CSKA could see Ferencvaros overtake Ludogorets in second place in the standings, home win should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the home side will be Roland Varga, who scored a winner for the Hungarian champions in the victory over CSKA in Moscow two weeks ago. Varga came from the bench that time out, but he is likely to lead the line for the hosts on Thursday evening.
