Opposition report: What Tottenham can expect from Ferencvaros

On Thursday evening, in an early kick-off, Spurs will face Hungarian side Ferencvaros in their second Europa League game of the new league phase campaign. So, what can they expect from their hosts?

Opposition report: What Tottenham can expect from Ferencvaros

Ferencvaros currently have a perfect domestic record, having won all six of their league games so far. They have scored 12 goals and only conceded two. Because of their European adventure, they have actually played fewer games than anyone else in the league, yet still see themselves top of the league, at least three points ahead of anyone else.

However, their Europa League campaign has not started so successfully. On matchday one they were defeated 2-1 by Belgian Pro League side Anderlecht, despite grabbing a goal back after their hosts had been reduced to ten men with nine minutes to go.

Brazilian striker Matheus Saldanha has scored four league goals this season, despite not starting a single game, only having two appearances in total, and only being on the pitch for 50 minutes. In their previous game, a win over Puskas last weekend, Saldanha scored a hat-trick in just 26 minutes, coming on at 0-0 and helping his side to a 3-0 victory. He could be one to look out for in a Jhon Duran type of way.

Adama Malouda Traore, Ferencavros' left-winger, scored their goal against Anderlecht and could be the dangerman for the hosts with his pace. Should Archie Gray get the nod to start at right-back again, it will be a good test for the teenager.

Ferencavros' manager Pascal Jensen was actually born in London, to an English Mother, before moving to The Netherlands at an early age. He has faced Ange Postecoglu before. When Jensen was manager of AZ Alkmaar, and Ange was manager of Celtic - the two sides met in the final round of Europa League qualifying, with Celtic winning 3-2 on aggregate. Jensen did beat Ange at home, however.
