Ferencváros vs Górnik Zabrze: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Budapest club has added seven consecutive championship titles from 2019 to 2025 to its status as a historical giant. However, last season they lost the title to Győr. The new season started with a defeat to Paks. Against Vasas, they failed to score, ending in a goalless draw. The team from Zabrze pleasantly surprised in 2025/2026, achieving their best result in decades with a second-place finish in the Ekstraklasa and winning the cup. However, after the summer break, they limply conceded to the champion, Lech, in the Super Cup. Nevertheless, they managed to beat Śląsk in the opening round, 2-1.
The Hungarians managed to impress in the previous qualification round. After getting past Vojvodina (2-1 away, 3-0 at home), they faced a tough opponent in Twente. But they defeated them in the Netherlands. After that 2-1 result, they led by two goals at home, but relaxed towards the end and allowed the Dutch side to equalize.
The Poles started in the Champions League, but immediately faced arguably the toughest opponent possible, Fenerbahçe. Talisca scored the only goal in Istanbul and opened the scoring in the return leg. The best the hosts could do on Thursday was to equalize before halftime — and it ended 1-1.
