Ferencváros vs Trabzonspor: Full confirmed lineups for UEFA Europa League 2026-27 Play-off second leg
Mohamed Salah and co. head into this game with a goal down.
Ferencvaros will welcome Trabzonspor at Groupama Arena today for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League playoff series, with the Hungarian champions leading 1-0 following the first leg in Turkey.
Kristoffer Zachariassen’s first-half header was sufficient to hand Ferencvaros the lead, which means Trabzonspor must prevail in Budapest to advance to the Europa League league phase.
Ferencvaros visit to Groupama Arena with a crucial advantage after Zachariassen’s 17th-minute header split the teams in last week’s first leg.
The record also backs the hosts, who defeated Trabzonspor 3-2 at Groupama Arena in the Europa League group stage during the 2022-23 season.
Trabzonspor, on the other hand, enters Budapest with increased optimism after rebounding from their European loss with a significant domestic win.
Fatih Tekke’s team beat Istanbul Basaksehir 2-1 on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah netting both goals in his maiden Super Lig appearance for the club.
Salah opened the score in the eighth minute by capitalising on a custodian error, then regaining Trabzonspor’s advantage three minutes into the second half after Basaksehir levelled from the penalty spot.
The Egyptian’s impact gives Black Sea Storm a much different offensive threat than in the first leg, and his ability to generate opportunities and attack defenders on the right should compel Ferencváros to be more hesitant about committing numbers forward.
