Ferencvaros vs Celtic prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Europa League 2021-22
Ferencvaros and Celtic will battle for three points on matchday four of the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 2-0 away victory over Gyirmot in the Hungarian OTP Bank Liga. Myrto Uzuni and Tokmac Nguen scored second-half goals to inspire their side to victory.
Celtic were held to a surprise goalless draw by Livingston on home turf in the Scottish Premiership. Georgios Giakoumakis missed an injury-time penalty that would have given the Glasgow outfit all three points.
Both sides will turn their attention to continental action where they both need maximum points to keep hopes of qualification from Group G alive.
