Ferencvaros were held to a 1-1 draw by Kisvarda in the OTP Bank Liga over the weekend. While they are now unbeaten in 13 consecutive matches across all competitions, that was their third consecutive league stalemate by the same scoreline.
In the UEFA Europa League, however, the Hungarian side have had a perfect start, beating Celtic (3-1) on the road and Viktoria Plzen (2-1) at home.
Head coach Balazs Borbely has no new injury or suspension worries ahead of this clash, but Bence Otvos (ACL), who has been out of action since February, remains unavailable.
Kristoffer Zachariassen has been impressive so far, having contributed directly to four of the team's five goals in this competition (3 goals, 1 assist). While some rotation is expected, the 32-year-old is expected to start alongside Yusuf Bamidele, who has three goal contributions so far.
On the other hand, Torreense are coming off a heartbreaking 2-1 home defeat against Sunderland. Despite being the overwhelming underdogs, they had the lead heading into the break but could not hold on, ultimately falling to a 93rd-minute winner.
The visitors enter this fixture as one of the competition's ultimate underdogs, having punched their ticket to the Europa League by winning the Portuguese Cup straight out of the second tier.
Luis Miguel Tralhao's men kicked off their campaign with an impressive 2-1 victory on the road against Lillestrom before their heartbreaking loss at the hands of Sunderland last Thursday.
Torreense head into this clash with a fully fit squad, bolstered by the return of Nuha Jatta from suspension. Since the Portuguese side did not play during the weekend, they are better-rested than their hosts, who have had a busy schedule.
This will be the first-ever encounter between these sides. Ferencvaros have won two and lost two of their four previous clashes with Portuguese sides, while Torreense will meet a Hungarian outfit for the first time on Thursday.

Whispers Predicts: Ferencvaros 3-1 Torreense
Priced at 7/20 (1.35), Ferencvaros are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
In addition to having the advantage of playing at home, the Hungarian side have been a difficult team to beat, and with Torreense coming off back-to-back losses, we are confident that Ferencvaros will earn a fairly comfortable victory here.
The hosts' last five fixtures have all featured goals at both ends, and this can be backed at 1/1 (2.00).
We also fancy over 0.5 red cards at 16/5 (4.20). Torreense's last three outings have featured four total red cards, with the Portuguese side being awarded three of them.
