Europa League 2025-2026: Ferencvaros-Viktoria Plzen, the likely lineups

The Groupama Arena in Budapest will be the setting for Ferencvaros and Viktoria Plzen’s Europa League single group stage debut. Kickoff will be at 9 p.m. Both teams were relegated from the Champions League after missing out on access to the main stage: the Hungarians were eliminated in the playoffs by Qarabag, while the Czechs stopped in the third round, overtaken by Rangers.

Technician Keane is relying on a 3-5-2: in attack there will be the pair formed by Varga and Dele, supported by the full-back Kadu and Nagy. In the center of the defense there will be space for Raemaekers, flanked by Gartenmann and Szalai.

On the opposite front, Koubek will adopt a 3-4-1-2: Vydra and Durosinmi will act up front, with Spacil and Memic manning the side lanes. Behind them, the rearguard will be led by Dweh, flanked by Jemelka and Paluska.

Probable lineups

Ferencvaros (3-5-2): Dibusz; Gartenmann, Raemaekers, Szalai; Kadu, Toth, Otvos, Kanichowsky, Nagy; Varga, Dele. All: Keane.

Viktoria Plzen (3-4-1-2): Jedlicka; Paluska, Dweh, Jemelka; Memic, Souare, Cerv, Spacil; Vydra; Adu, Durosinmi. All: Koubek.
