Danny Rohl has positive Rangers omen ahead of Ferencvaros clash
Rangers will be looking to get back to winning ways in the Europa League when they face Ferencvaros on Thursday.
Danny Rohl takes his side to Hungary, desperate for victory, as they have failed to win a single game in the competition so far this season.
Rangers are heavy underdogs against the side that is unbeaten in their first five matches in the league phase, and have put up great numbers, as highlighted by the Sofascore graphic below.
However, Rohl should believe that his side can cause a surprise after the latest reveal.
Why Rangers should be confident for Ferencvaros clash
Rangers could equal a 39-year-old record when the sides meet at the Groupama Arena on 11 December, as they have not lost five European away games in a row since between November 1983 and October 1986.
However, a more positive omen is that Hungarian clubs have lost five of their last six matches against Scottish opposition in major European competitions.
The only win in that period was when Ferencvaros beat Hearts in the UEFA Cup in December 2004, and Rohl will hope to expand that misery when the sides face off.
Why Ferencvaros are overrated ahead of Rangers clash
The Gers should have enough to overcome their Hungarian opposition, despite their dismal start to the Europa League campaign.
Rohl’s side have started to pick up under the German, with Bojan Miovski finding his feet after initially struggling following his move from Girona.
While the hosts have a much superior record in the competition so far this season, the opposition that they have faced are nowhere near as daunting as the Light Blues.
The Hungarians drew with Fenerbache last time out, and have beaten the likes of Ludogorets, RB Salzburg, Genk, while also sharing points with Viktoria Plzen.
The Gers have drawn with Portuguese side Braga, while also facing Roma, Sturm Graz and Brann, with Genk the only common opponent between the sides.
The Govan outfit’s run has been harder, and therefore, they may well fancy their chances when they make the trip to Budapest.
They need to win, given the dire circumstances of their European adventure so far, and they still have an outside chance of qualifying for the play-off round.
