Ferencvarosi TC bring six wins from eight to Celtic Park

Ferencvarosi TC bring six wins and two draws from their last eight listed results into Celtic Park today, when Celtic host them in UEFA Europa League League Stage - 1 at 19:00 UTC. Celtic have no recent form data available, while P. Kolaric is the appointed referee for the meeting in Glasgow.

What's at stake

Celtic sit 14th and Ferencvarosi TC 16th, with both teams on 0 points from 0 games and a goal difference of 0. Sparta Praha lead with 3 points, so the winner today will put its first points on the board and open an early gap over the other club; a draw would leave both sides on 0.

The numbers

Ferencvarosi’s away record offers the clearest statistical edge in the build-up: 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, with 6 goals scored, 3 conceded and 1 clean sheet. Their overall record is 8 games, 16 goals scored and 5 conceded.

Celtic’s home and overall figures are still blank for this league-stage campaign: 0 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses at home, with 0 scored, 0 conceded and 0 clean sheets, alongside 0 overall games played.

One to watch

B. Yusuf is the only player from either squad listed on the league scorer chart, with 1 goal in 2 appearances for Ferencvarosi TC. His involvement gives the visitors a named attacking reference as they take their 16-goal overall record to Glasgow.

Why it matters

Celtic must manage a long unavailable list that includes L. Emenalo, A. Johnston, Jota and A. Oxlade-Chamberlain, while D. Murray is questionable. Ferencvarosi TC also have B. Otvos and I. Pappoe out with knee injuries, with E. Botka questionable, making squad availability a direct factor for both sides as Round 1 begins today.
