Nottingham Forest vs Ferencváros Prediction & Betting Tips

Thursday, 20:00 (UTC) | City Ground | UEFA Europa League

Nottingham Forest close out their Europa League league phase at home to Ferencváros on Thursday night. Both teams are already through to the knockout rounds, but the stakes remain high — Forest could still climb into the top eight with a win, while Ferencváros aim to defend their unbeaten record and secure direct qualification.

✅ Over 2.5 Goals – 1.77
✅ Both Teams to Score – 1.82

Nottingham Forest vs Ferencváros Prediction

Forest have enjoyed a strong European campaign built around their home form. They’ve scored 11 goals from an xGF of 14.8, created 26 big chances, and averaged over 15 shots per game. Their issue has been consistency — an away loss to Braga on matchday seven highlighted how volatile their results can be.

Ferencváros, meanwhile, are one of the most efficient teams in the competition. They’ve gone unbeaten in seven, scored 12 goals, and outperformed their expected goals by nearly +3, showing a clinical edge in attack. Their balance between structure and efficiency makes them a dangerous opponent even away from home.

Both sides are already qualified, which could encourage a more open, attacking contest. Forest will push for three points to improve their seeding, while Ferencváros are unlikely to sit deep with their form and momentum.

Players to Watch

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) – Central to everything Forest do going forward. He’s hit a shot on target in five of six Europa League appearances, averaging 1.6 SOT per start, and is a key link between midfield and attack.

Kristoffer Zachariassen (Ferencváros) – The Norwegian midfielder is a consistent scorer and creator, with goals in both domestic and European competitions this season. His late runs into the box could trouble Forest.
