Ferencvarosi vs SCU Torreense 22 October 2026 Prediction

Ferencváros has opened its Europa League campaign with two wins, improving its chances of reaching the knockout stage. In Matchday 3, the Hungarian club hosts Torreense, a Portuguese second-division side that has already earned three points.

Ferencváros: Strong at Home

Ferencváros beat Celtic 3-1 in its opener, then defeated Viktoria Plzeň 2-1 last week. The xG figures against Plzeň were close, 2.30 to 1.93, but Ferencváros finished its chances more effectively. Defensively, the team remains vulnerable to counterattacks when it commits players forward.

Domestic results have been less convincing. Ferencváros sits mid-table with three wins in nine league games. It drew 1-1 with Kisvárda last weekend despite leading 29-5 in shots and 2.72 to 0.90 in xG. That was its fourth straight league draw; Ferencváros created the better chances in each of those games. Injuries have also affected the squad. Manager Balázs Borbély has no fit out-and-out strikers, with Lenny Joseph and Franco Kovačević sidelined. Home form is a positive: Ferencváros has won four of its five Europa League home games, including qualifying.

Torreense: Three Points from Two Games

Torreense opened with a 2-1 away win over Lillestrøm before losing 2-1 to Sunderland last week. The Portuguese side kept the game close against its Premier League opponent, conceding the winner in the 93rd minute. It has been a solid start for manager Luís Tralhão’s team in its first campaign at this level.

In Portugal’s second division, Torreense has one win, three draws and three losses through seven games. A busy schedule has contributed to those results. The team has had a full week to prepare for this match after its next league fixture was postponed because of cup games. Attacking midfielder Noua Yatta returns from suspension. Left winger Adama Baradji is the only injured player, and a replacement is available.

Ferencváros vs Torreense Prediction: Ferencváros Handicap -1.5

Main prediction: Ferencváros has the stronger squad, more European experience and a good home record. Its wins over Celtic and Viktoria Plzeň show it can handle tougher opposition. Torreense lost the xG battle against both Lillestrøm and Sunderland, while its league record stands at one win in seven games. The pick is Ferencváros -1.5 at 1.90.

Goals prediction: Torreense scored twice against Lillestrøm and once against Sunderland. Ferencváros has conceded in five straight games across all competitions, and its attacking approach can leave space for counterattacks. Both teams could score even if the hosts win comfortably. The secondary pick is both teams to score: yes at 1.85.
