Milan face a formidable run
Ferencvarosi TC’s latest Europa League result extended their winning streak to five matches, and they travel to San Siro unbeaten in eleven in the competition. AC Milan, by contrast, lost their most recent Europa League match. With Ferencvarosi TC fourth on nine points and Milan 24th on three after three games, the visitors arrive six points and twenty places ahead in the 36-team league phase.
The stakes are clear: Milan need points to improve their position, while Ferencvarosi TC can protect a strong start and keep their remarkable run going.
Contrasting competition form
The competition-only numbers underline the challenge facing Milan. Across their three Europa League matches, they have won once and lost twice, scoring four goals and conceding five. Their sole home match in the competition ended in a defeat, with Milan scoring none and conceding twice.
Ferencvarosi TC’s Europa League record is far stronger: nine wins and two draws in eleven matches, with 25 goals scored and eight conceded. Their five latest competition matches have all ended in victories, with 14 goals scored and three conceded. Away from home in the Europa League, they have won four and drawn one of five matches.
Absences add to Milan’s challenge
Milan will be without W. Bondo, S. Chukwueze, M. Gabbia, R. Loftus-Cheek, M. Maignan, A. Saelemaekers and F. Tomori. Ferencvarosi TC are missing E. Botka, B. Nagy, B. Otvos and G. Szecsi, while F. Kovacevic is questionable.
The run and the home response
Ferencvarosi TC’s scoring figures make them a significant threat: they have scored 14 times across their last five Europa League matches while conceding only three. Milan, meanwhile, have conceded five in their three matches in this competition, and their defeat in their only Europa League home appearance offers little reassurance.
Still, the match is at San Siro, and Milan’s need to respond gives the home side a reason to push for a more assured performance. The visitors’ consistency is the defining contrast, but the hosts have the opportunity to disrupt it.
Our prediction
PreviaXI’s model favours AC Milan, with the home side’s edge enough to make a narrow result the most likely outcome. Ferencvarosi TC’s run and scoring form demand respect, but Milan are backed to find a way through in a tight contest.
AC Milan 1-0 Ferencvarosi TC
