Stick with the underdog at ZTE Arena
Zalaegerszegi TE have made a shaky start to the NB I 2026-2027 season with just 3 points from 3 games, but that is still enough to stay in the mix in 10th place. Filipe Celikkaya has led Zalaegerszegi TE since 1 July 2026, and there is a new feel about them as they look a lot more compact and dangerous on the break than they have done in years gone by. This Zalaegerszegi TE vs Ferencvarosi TC preview points to a tight contest at ZTE Arena.
Filipe Celikkaya's side have suffered some big defeats, such as the 5-0 loss at Budapest Vasas SC, but they have also had their moments, such as the 5-2 home win over Paksi FC in NB I 2026/2027. Ferencvarosi TC are also winless after 1 away trip in the league, although they have scored 2 away goals, and have enjoyed better results in the UEFA Europa League Qualification 2026, beating KS Gornik Zabrze 1-0 before falling 2-1 to Real Madrid in a friendly. Our Zalaegerszegi TE vs Ferencvarosi TC prediction is that both teams can find the net.
Zalaegerszegi TE can spring a fast break
Filipe Celikkaya's team have had mixed-to-poor form coming into this game with 1 win and 4 defeats in their last 5, but they have a lot of players who can score and ZTE have a real spark in Alen Skribek, who has 3 assists in 3 NB I 2026/2027 games. Barnabas Nagy has added 1 assist in his only appearance, and if they can get in behind Ferencvaros, ZTE will be licking their lips at the chance to break.
Balazs Borbely's Ferencvaros have been in mixed form too, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5, and they will need to find the best version of themselves to win on Monday. It is a style clash that should suit Ferencvaros, as they play the sharper, higher-tempo game with their trademark 4-2-3-1, high press and fast ball circulation.
However, ZTE are tough to break down and have bite on the counter, and that has us siding with the underdog here. A 1-2 away win looks more likely than the clean sheet win, but we'll take BTTS & Over 2.5 goals for a safer play at better odds. Our Zalaegerszegi TE vs Ferencvarosi TC betting tips lean toward goals at both ends, while this Zalaegerszegi TE vs Ferencvarosi TC prediction also backs Ferencvaros to edge it. Bamidele Yusuf is the main goal threat for the visitors with 1 goal in 2 NB I appearances, but Lenny Joseph is hotter with 3 of Fradi's 6 goals in their last 5 matches. Jose Calderon has 2 goals in 3 NB I 2026-2027 matches for ZTE and has scored 2 of their last 5 goals for the club.
