Ferencvaros will entertain Monaco at the Groupama Arena in an interesting UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday.
Surprisingly, the hosts are at the top of the Group H standings with nine points, leading the visitors, who are in third place, by three points. If Ferencvaros record a win here, they will need just one point from their final game of the season against Trabzonspor to qualify for the knockout stage.
If Monaco wins, then it might become a three-way race between them, Ferencvaros and Trabzonspor for a spot in the knockout stage from Group H.
The hosts returned to winning ways with a 4-2 win over Puskas Akademia in the Nemzeti Bajnokság I on Saturday. Monaco are winless in their last three games across all competitions and fell to a 4-3 defeat at Lille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Ferencvaros vs Monaco Prediction
The hosts have enjoyed a solid run across all competitions and emerged as 1-0 winners in the reverse fixture in France. They will be looking to build on that win in this home game.
Monaco have been inconsistent this term and are winless in their last three games across all competitions. They have scored four goals in four games and this lack of goals might be their undoing here. We are backing the hosts to eke out a narrow win in this game.
