Nottingham vs Ferencvaros Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

Expected to play an interesting role in this Europa League, Nottingham Forest was generally quite disappointing during this league phase even if the club should still be able to play in the play-offs next month. 16th in the standings with 11 points, the English lost last week to Braga 1-0, thus seeing their chances of entering the top 8 reduced to nothing. Before that, they remained on 2 successes against Malmö 0-3 and against Utrecht 2-1. At the same time, in the Premier League, Forest gave themselves some breathing room in the red zone by winning Sunday against Brentford 0-2, a week after holding off the leader, Arsenal 0-0. Ferencvaros, for his part, is not shy in this Europa League.

Because before this last day, this team is in 7th position in the ranking with 15 points in its pocket, which allows it to be virtually qualified for the 1/8th finals of the tournament. Still undefeated after the first 7 days, the Hungarians were able to defeat Rangers in December 2-1 before holding off Panathinaikos 1-1 last week. At the same time, the Budapest club is on the 3rd step of the podium in its championship, 4 units behind the leader, Gyor, against whom it lost last Sunday 1-3. 

On the British side, goalkeeper No. 2 John Victor and important striker Wood are unable to play this game. The young striker Hutchinson is not authorized to play this league phase of this C3. An uncertain time last Sunday, the frame defender Murillo and the not very prolific striker Igor Jesus (2 goals in PL) were finally present and the second mentioned even scored against Brentford. He is Forest's top scorer in C3 with 4 goals to his credit. This team includes England international Anderson, winger Hudson-Odoi (3 goals in PL) and playmaker Gibbs-White (5 goals in PL). Remember that this winter, the French striker Kalimuendo was loaned to Frankfurt.

On the Hungarian side, the starting goalkeeper in the Hungarian selection Denes Dibusz is not present while midfielder Naby Keita (ex-Liverpool), just definitively transferred from Werder, still has to be patient in the infirmary with the starting defender Gartenmann. The club lost big this winter with the departure of its top scorer Barnabas Varga (10 goals in championship, 4 goals in C3) for AEK Athens this winter while midfielder Toth joined Bournemouth. Winter recruits Gomez (ex-Zurich) and Acolatse (ex-DVTK) are they not qualified. On the other hand, Gruber (8 goals in the league) and Nagy (2 goals, 4 assists in the league) are present in the same way as the midfielder Israeli international Gabi Kanichowsky (2 goals in the league) and Jonathan Levi (2 goals in the championship). Also note the presence of the French Lenny Joseph who is his replacement in this team.
