Viktoria Plzeň put in a solid performance in the first leg in Hungary, despite narrowly losing by a single goal.

Statistically, they held the upper hand in almost every aspect except shots on target (3-2 in favor of Ferencváros). Plzeň registered a higher xG (1.29), controlled 58% of possession, and created more scoring opportunities but were ultimately unlucky in front of goal.

However, this deficit is far from insurmountable, especially with Plzeň playing at home, where they have been nearly unstoppable. They have lost just once in their last 17 home matches—a narrow 2-1 defeat to Manchester United—while winning 13 and drawing 3.

On the other hand, Ferencváros has struggled away from home, managing just one win in their last seven matches on the road. Their Europa League away form has been particularly poor, suffering heavy defeats such as a 5-0 loss to PAOK and a 2-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt without scoring a single goal.

Adding to their concerns, Ferencváros also lost 2-0 at home to Paks in their domestic league in the buildup to this match, further highlighting their inconsistency. Given these factors, Plzeň has a strong chance of overturning the deficit and securing a result on home soil.
