AC Milan

vs

Ferencvaros

KickoffThursday 5 November 2026, 5:45pm

VenueStadio Giuseppe Meazza

CompetitionUEFA Europa League

AC Milan are in a precarious spot in the Europa League, and this is exactly the kind of game where that pressure could either sharpen them or sink them. Sitting 24th in the league phase table with just three points from three games, Ruben Amorim needs a home win badly. A defeat here would make the path to the knockout rounds extremely difficult for a club that has won the European Cup seven times and simply should not be scrambling for points against Hungarian opposition.

Ferencvaros, though, are not here to make up the numbers. Balazs Borbely’s side are one of five teams still carrying a perfect record in this competition, and they have beaten Celtic and Viktoria Plzen to get here. This is a genuine test for Milan, and Fradi will fancy their chances of making it four wins from four.

AC Milan vs Ferencvaros Match Details

The fixture takes place at the iconic San Siro in Milan, in the Europa League league phase. Milan are the home side but a long way from comfortable, while Ferencvaros travel as arguably the form team in the competition and with serious ambitions of reaching the top eight and skipping the playoff round entirely.

Team News

Milan have a lengthy injury list to navigate, and Amorim is also without his first choice goalkeeper through suspension. With a Serie A trip to Genoa coming up after this, expect a rotated starting eleven from the Milan bench.

• Lorenzo Torriani starts in goal after Mike Maignan serves his suspension following a red card against Bournemouth
• Fikayo Tomori, Samuel Chukwueze, Mattia Gabbia, Alexis Saelemaekers and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are all ruled out through injury
• Filippo Terracciano is a doubt
• Alphadjo Cisse is in line to be promoted from the bench after impressive recent showings, including a hat-trick against Salzburg and a brace against Bologna
• Ferencvaros are without Slovakia midfielder Matus Bero
• Bence Otvos is still working his way back from an ACL injury and will not feature

Predicted Lineups

Amorim looks set to shuffle his pack significantly here. Torriani gets his chance in goal, while Omari Hutchinson and Davide Bartesaghi are expected to come into the setup alongside the exciting Cisse in attack. It is a lineup with youth and energy, but it is short on European experience.

Milan predicted: Torriani; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi; Hutchinson, Musah, Jashari, Cisse; Pulisic, Ramos

Borbely is likely to stick close to the formula that has served Ferencvaros so well this campaign. Kristoffer Zachariassen and Dele Yusuf are the goal threats in the final third, with Serbian winger Veljko Birmancevic providing the width. This is a team that knows what it is doing.

Ferencvaros predicted: Radnoti; O. Nagy, Zohore, Gomez, O’Dowda; Maiga, A. Nagy; Arzani, Zachariassen, Birmancevic; Yusuf

Recent Form

Milan have had quite a fortnight. After being torn apart 3-0 at Bournemouth in the Europa League, with Maignan seeing red and the team looking completely disorganised on England’s south coast, they went back to domestic duties. A 2-0 win over Udinese settled some nerves, but then came a chaotic home game against Bologna that ended 4-2 and raised fresh questions about defensive organisation. Not ideal preparation for a derby, in truth.

Yet the Derby della Madonnina brought out a different side entirely. Milan surged into a two goal lead against Inter before Diego Moreira added a brilliant free kick to essentially seal it, and they came away with a win that closed the gap on their city rivals to four points. They sit fifth in Serie A and are very much involved in what looks like a wide open title race. The form is patchy but there are clear signs of promise, particularly going forward.

Ferencvaros are on a completely different trajectory. They have lost just once this entire season across all competitions, a run stretching back to late July. Four wins from four in Europa League qualifying, followed by three from three in the league phase, with Torreense put to the sword 4-1 in their most recent outing. In the Hungarian league they trail leaders ETO Gyor by just two points but have a game in hand. This is a squad brimming with confidence and travelling to San Siro with absolutely nothing to fear.

Head-to-Head Record

These two clubs have met a handful of times in European competition, but it is not a fixture that comes around regularly. Milan have the pedigree and the stadium advantage, but the head to head history here is not particularly one sided given the level of opposition Ferencvaros have historically faced in these encounters.

What is worth noting is that Ferencvaros have shown repeatedly this season that they can handle big European nights. Going to San Siro is different to facing Celtic or Viktoria Plzen in terms of occasion, but this is a squad that has been tested and has come through those tests comfortably. The venue will not intimidate them.

Key Stats

• Milan have just 3 points from 3 Europa League games and are currently occupying the final playoff position in 24th place
• Ferencvaros sit fourth with 9 points from 3 games, one of only five sides with a perfect Europa League record this season
• Zachariassen has contributed 3 goals and 1 assist in the league phase, while Yusuf has added 2 goals and 2 assists
• Alphadjo Cisse has scored 5 goals in his last two starts for Milan across all competitions

AC Milan vs Ferencvaros Betting Tips

Milan need the win and have the attacking quality to create chances, especially with Cisse and Pulisic on the pitch. But a rotated back line, a backup goalkeeper and a Ferencvaros side full of confidence makes this far from a banker. The smart angle here is on goals and the profile of how this game is likely to unfold rather than banking on a clean sheet from either side.

Both Teams To Score (BTTS) Prediction

Yes. Milan have the firepower to score, particularly with Cisse in devastating recent form, but their defensive setup tonight is makeshift and Ferencvaros carry a real goal threat through Zachariassen and Yusuf. Both teams finding the net feels like the natural outcome here.

Over and Under Goals Prediction

Over 2.5 goals. Milan have been involved in high scoring matches all month, home or away, and Ferencvaros have been free scoring themselves. The attacking quality on show and the defensive uncertainty in both setups makes this a game where three or more goals looks very likely indeed.

Corners Prediction

Over 9.5 corners. Milan will be pushing for a result at home and getting bodies forward, and Ferencvaros are not the type of side to sit deep and absorb. When both teams are actively trying to attack, corner counts tend to stack up, and San Siro tends to see the home side pumping balls into the box when chasing games.

First Goalscorer Prediction

Alphadjo Cisse. The young forward has been in ridiculous form, scoring a hat-trick against Salzburg and then bagging twice against Bologna. He is starting tonight and with Milan pushing for an early goal to ease the pressure, he is in exactly the position to make things happen from the first whistle.

Cards Prediction

Over 3.5 cards. Milan are desperate for points and that kind of pressure tends to make tackles sharper and frustrations higher. Ferencvaros will not be rolling over quietly either, and with both sides motivated and a physical edge likely to this midfield battle, a card count of four or more across the ninety minutes feels very achievable.

Correct Score Prediction

2-1 to AC Milan. The home side edges it through Cisse and Pulisic making the difference, but Ferencvaros get on the scoresheet and make it uncomfortable until the final whistle. Not a stroll, not a thrashing, just a narrow win that keeps Milan’s European ambitions alive by the thinnest of margins.

Bet Builder Tip

Cisse scoring in a game where both teams find the net and at least three goals are scored fits perfectly with the form guide and the defensive vulnerabilities on show tonight.

Final Match Prediction

Milan just about get the job done at San Siro, but this is far tighter than the occasion or the history of the clubs would suggest. Amorim gets his win, Cisse continues his remarkable run of form, and the Rossoneri move to six points in the Europa League with their knockout round hopes still alive. But Ferencvaros will score and will cause problems, and there will be nerves in the stands before this one is settled.

Final score prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Ferencvaros.
