Ferencváros-Panathinaikos: Greens Seek Away Win in Freezing Budapest

Published January 22, 2026, 07:34

Panathinaikos faces Ferencváros in freezing Budapest (temperatures expected to reach -10°C) for the 7th matchday of the Europa League, seeking a win to improve their chances of qualifying for the round of 16. Rafa Benítez's team comes from a crushing defeat to AEK (4-0) after a series of positive results. Due to injuries and the European list, Benítez cannot count on Mladenović, Juricic, Tetei and Pantelidis. Ferencváros is in poor form with only one win in their last five games and is facing the void left by the transfer of Barnabás Varga to AEK.
