Milan have collected only three points from their opening matches, while Ferencvaros have won all three.
Milan

Milan in the Europa League scoring four goals across their first three matches. They have averaged 4.7 shots on target per game and created 2.3 big chances per match, although their finishing has not always been reliable. Their 15 attempts off target and six blocked shots also highlight that a considerable share of their efforts have failed to test the goalkeeper. The team have averaged 49.67% possession and completed 86.34% of their passes, showing an ability to maintain control and build attacks through possession. Defensively, Milan have made 113 ball recoveries and 55 tackles, but they have still conceded five goals in three games.

Prediction
Milan’s derby victory gives them a positive platform, and their home record in recent matches suggests they can make this a difficult evening for the visitors. However, their European performances have been inconsistent. Ferencvaros have shown greater consistency throughout their campaign. Their 17-match unbeaten run, three consecutive Europa League victories and nine goals in the competition demonstrate that their attacking form is not limited to domestic football. They have also conceded just three times in Europe, although their lack of clean sheets leaves Milan opportunities to create chances. Both sides have reasons to approach this match with attacking intent. Milan need a positive European result after two defeats in their opening three games, while Ferencvaros have scored freely throughout the competition and arrive with considerable confidence. The hosts have also been involved in several high-scoring matches recently, and the visitors’ attacking output adds to the potential for an open contest. Recommended Bet: Over 2.5 Total Goals
