Anderlecht – Ferencvaros Predictions and Preview
- Anderlecht and Ferencváros are both unlikely to advance beyond the new league stage of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League after starting from the preliminary qualifying rounds. However, for the Belgian club, this competition is a special occasion after several years away from Europe’s second-tier club competition.
- Despite their difficulties, Anderlecht have had a less than ideal preparation for this event. They dismissed their head coach Brian Riemer for “insufficient” performances. In their first seven league games, they had only three wins (three draws and one loss).
- Just 48 hours after taking over as caretaker coach, David Hubert jovially declared “coaching is my thing,” despite being disappointed with the lack of firepower in their 0-0 draw at home to Charleroi at the weekend. It was their fourth straight game without a victory (three draws and one loss). With just five goals to their name across six competitive home outings this season, Hubert probably shouldn’t expect an immediate transformation in their results.
- Ferencváros could be meeting them at the best possible time. They enter this competition on an even keel with their Belgian counterparts, having qualified via the play-off round alongside them. However, they have the slight advantage of completing a full season of continental football last season when they reached the knockout phase of the Conference League.
- Recent seasons suggest that they may find the step up in grade difficult, especially when travelling. Their 1-1 play-off round draw with Borac Banja Luka took their away record in all Europa League football since the start of 2021/22 to an unenviable W1, D1, L7 — a psychological hurdle they’ll hope to overcome as they seek to preserve their unbeaten record against Belgian opposition (W2, D4).
- Players to watch: Anderlecht need a return to scoring form from forward Francis Amuzu, who has not struck since delivering their winner at home to Dinamo Minsk earlier this season. He has never lost a senior professional match when finding the target (W20, D3). Barnabás Varga, who was Ferencváros’ only goal scorer against Borac Banja Luka, also found the net at the weekend for his tenth consecutive winning scoring appearance.
- Hot stat: Eight of Anderlecht’s last nine UEFA games produced under 2.5 total goals.
