Ferencváros have never previously faced Viktoria Plzen – in major European competition, they last faced a Czechia side in the first round of the 1999-00 UEFA Cup, losing 4-2 on aggregate to FK Teplice.

This is Viktoria Plzen’s first ever match against a Hungarian side in European competition. Including qualifiers, it’s the second time this season they’ve faced a team from a nation for the first time, beating Scottish side Heart of Midlothian in both legs of play-off qualifying.

Ferencváros have scored four goals in three of their last five UEFA Europa League matches, wins over Dynamo Kyiv (4-0), Malmö FF (4-1) and AZ (4-3). Before this, they’d gone 48 major European matches without netting four or more times in a game.

Viktoria Plzen haven’t scored a single goal in any of their last five major European knockout matches, with three of those games ending 0-0 (L2). They’ve only had 32 shots across those games, having three or fewer shots in three of those five games.

Barnabas Varga has scored six UEFA Europa League goals this season, with only Ayoub El Kaabi scoring more (7). It’s the most by a Ferencváros player in a major European season since 1991-92 (Peter Lipcsei, 6), while the last to score more was László Branikovits in 1971-72 (7).
