Ferencvaros vs Bayer Leverkusen
UEFA Europa League
Date: 16 March 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Puskas Arena (Budapest).

Bayer Leverkusen continued their strong run of form on Sunday afternoon when they dispatched Werder Bremen 2-3 away at Weserstadion.

Wing-back Jeremie Frimpong produced an amazing all-round display. He ended the game with a goal and an assist.

Bayer now have four wins and a draw in the previous six outings across competitions and they will go into Thursday’s second leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie against Hungarian champions Ferencvaros in the highest of spirits.

Leverkusen’s positive streak includes a 2-0 victory over the Hungarians last Thursday at BayArena.

Kerem Demirbay and Edmond Tapsoba made the difference in a match in which we did not see too many clear-cut openings for either side.

The two-goal deficit will be very hard to annul for the Hungarian outfit. The team led by the former Russian national team boss Stanislav Cherchesov seem to have taken the foot off the gas in the domestic league of late.

Ferencvaros thus have only a single win in the previous five NB I games and they will enter this tie off the back of a 1-2 home loss to Puskas Academy on Sunday.

Nevertheless, the hosts are still eleven points clear at the top of the domestic league table. Can they do much to threaten the German outfit here?
