Ferencvaros vs. Borac Banja Luka: Europa League match betting tip
The first meeting of the final round of the Europa League qualification between Ferencvaros and Borac will take place on August 22 at the Groupama stadium in Budapest. The Bosnian club has already made history in the previous round and secured participation in the group stage of the European Cup. It remains only to find out which one. Are the visitors capable of resisting a stronger opponent and what bets will play in the match? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Ferencvaros
HungaryCurrent form
Ferencvaros has gained great fame in our country in recent years. From 2021 to 2023, the club was coached by Stanislav Cherchesov, and this summer, it was from this team that Dejan Stankovic came to Spartak Moscow, taking a couple of players with him. The departure of the Serb did not affect the club's results in any way. The wards of the newcomer Pascal Jansen scored the maximum possible nine points at the start and are in their usual first place. We especially note the defense - not a single goal conceded in three rounds.
Things are not going well for the Green Eagles in European competitions. They managed to get through the first round of the Champions League qualification. As expected, the Welsh New Saints were beaten by all accounts with a score of 7:1 on aggregate. But the next stage of the qualification became the last for the team from Budapest. The Danish Midtjylland turned out to be stronger - 0:2 in Herning and 1:1 in Budapest.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team has no problems with its composition.
Interesting trends for betting
- In 75% of European Cup matches this season, the Hungarians won in the first half.
- Ferencvaros are unbeaten at home in ten games in a row.
Probable lineup : Dibus, Makretskis, Raul Gustavo, Cisse, Ramires, Rommens, Maiga, Traore, Zachariassen, Kehinde, Pesic
Borac Banja Luka
Bosnia and HerzegovinaCurrent form
The team began its European campaign with the main club tournament – the Champions League, and managed to overcome one round of qualification. The victory in the penalty shootout over the modest Albanian Egnatia should not be considered a great achievement. And at the next stage, PAOK, even without Russian striker Fedor Chalov in the squad, defeated the Bosnians twice (3:2 and 1:0) and sent the team to gain experience in an easier tournament. In the Europa League, the team from Banja Luka was given Faroese Klaksvik as an opponent and again reached extra time in the second match. The Red-Blues turned out to be stronger, scoring the decisive goal in the 93rd minute, which essentially guaranteed their participation in the European Cups.
In the national championship, Borac played only one match, in which they beat Sloboda from Tuzla (2:0). The club is in seventh place in the standings and has two games in reserve.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured Chetkovic will not help the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- In matches involving Borac in the current European season, referees show an average of 5.67 yellow cards.
- The team has conceded away goals in ten consecutive matches
Probable lineup : Siskovski, Kvrzic, Meyers, Carolina, Herrera, Karaklaic, Grahovac, Kulasin, Vranjes, Vukovic - Lukic
Trends
Bet Exact score 2:0
In 2 of the last 5 meetings of Ferencvaros this score was recorded
6.50Bet 1st half: Ferencvaros win
In 2 of the last 3 matches the hosts won in the first half
1.57Bet 2nd half: only Ferencvaros will score
In 2 of the last 3 games, only the Hungarians scored in the second half
1.78Tip and bets
Ferencvaros has not slowed down or become worse after selling Marquinhos and Mienti Abena to Spartak Moscow. The difference in class between the Hungarian and Bosnian champions is huge. The hosts have already played seven official matches this season, losing only one. At the same time, the team from Banja Luka has four defeats in six previous matches. We believe that the Green Eagles will outplay their opponent in all respects.
Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Ferencvaros with odds of 1.73
Betting on Team Goals
It will be very difficult for the visitors to score. Pascal Jansen has worked well in the off-season to build a defensive game. In four home games played in the 2024/25 season, Ferencvaros have conceded only one goal. Borac has a good attacking line, but in today's match the Bosnians will simply have no chance to score.
Prediction - Borac Banja Luka will not score with odds of 1.72
Bet on total
The Hungarians have had no results in their last five matches both in the national championship and in European competitions. This is the team's current style of play. The visitors, on the contrary, act in an open manner on the field with a clear focus on the opponent's goal, but today they will most likely close in defense. We recommend paying attention to the low total.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.40
