Ferencvaros were able to complete the comeback against Ludogorets in the previous round to book their spot in the Europa League round of 16.
After trailing 2-1 in the first leg, the Hungarian side held on to a 2-0 win at home in the second leg. However, they have been dealt a tough draw for the round of 16, as they will face Sporting Braga.
The Portuguese side finished sixth in the league phase, meaning they didn’t have to contest a playoff match. Braga boasted a record of five wins, two draws, and one loss from their Europa League matches so far, with the one defeat coming against Genk. However, Braga managed 2.55 xG to Genk’s 1.09 xG, so it was an unfortunate result.
Still, Braga went unbeaten in their four away matches in Europe, with just one goal conceded in those games. They should look to keep things tight here, hoping to take a positive result into the second leg.
