Ferencvaros
Starting with the hosts, springing what was an almighty upset on foreign soil last week as they clinched a sensational 2-1 victory over in the Netherlands, Ferencvaros are sat in pole position to claim a real Europa League scalp. Extending on their qualifying adventure earlier in the month as they breezed past Serbian outfit Vojvodina thanks to a 5-1 aggregate victory, Balazs Borbely’s men will be backed by a vocal home support on Thursday night. Despite getting the 2026/27 Hungarian campaign underway with a rollercoaster 4-2 defeat away at Paks over the weekend, Ferencvaros will be excited to make an immediate return to home soil here. In fact, continuing on from last season, Borbely’s side have not suffered a single defeat in Budapest across all competitions since way back on January 25th.
Ferencvaros Team News
Only making a cameo appearance off the bench against Paks over the weekend, former Go Ahead Eagles midfielder Philippe Rommens will be handed a full recall in the middle of the park. Now in his 14 consecutive campaign in Budapest, Denes Dibusz will start between the sticks.
Putting in a Man of the Match performance on foreign soil last week and bagging both of Ferencvaros’ first-leg strikes, former Metz youngster Lenny Jospeh will spearhead Borbely’s attack in the final third.
Twente
As for the visitors, missing out on the opportunity to claim what could prove to be a crucial first-leg advantage on home soil last week, Twente are suddenly searching for a major Europa League comeback here. Coming under plenty of scrutiny at the De Grolsch Veste as they eventually fell to that 2-1 loss, John van den Brom’s side find their European dreams hanging in the balance. Signing off the 2025/26 campaign with a 5-1 drumming at the hands of Dutch giants PSV on May 17th, Twente have now mustered just a sole win from any of their previous five competitive appearances on either side of the summer interval. However, despite being set to climb a real mountain on Thursday night, the Tukkers have remarkably suffered just a sole defeat on their travels over the past 11 months.
Twente Team News
Still sidelined with a long-term knee injury and not making a single appearance across any competition so far this calendar year, academy graduate Mees Hilgers will once again miss out here. Bagging a consolation strike last week, Danish youngster Aske Adelgaard will start at left-back.
Completing a permanent switch to the De Grolsch Veste over the summer after appearing for Holland at the 2026 World Cup in North America, former Ajax and Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst will lead the line on Thursday night.
Ferencvaros vs Twente Key Factors to Consider

Conclusion
Missing out on the chance to claim a fist-leg advantage last week as they eventually fell to a 2-1 defeat at the De Grolsch Veste, Twente have a real mountain to climb on Thursday night. While the Tukkers might have suffered just a sole defeat on their travels over the past 11 months, they have failed to find any kind of defensive steel outside of Enschede.
