Prediction
Gornik finished as runners-up to Lech Poznan in last season's Polish Ekstraklasa, earning them a crack at qualifying for the Champions League.
They were not disgraced in a 2-1 aggregate defeat to star-studded Fenerbahce, although they mustered only one attempt at goal in the away leg in Turkey.
The losers of Gornik's Europa League qualifier against Ferencvaros will drop into the Conference League play-offs, where they take on a classy Monaco side.
Gornik started the 2026-27 league season with a 2-1 home win over Slask Wroclaw, who went ahead in the seventh minute and led for almost an hour.
Wednesday's game is Ferencvaros's fifth tie in this season's Europa League qualifiers and they have taken the lead inside 27 minutes in each of the first four.
The Hungarians lost 4-2 in their league opener at Paksi SE, but scored two first-half goals in that defeat and should be backed to be leading at half-time and full-time.
Ferencvaros had an impressive run in last season's Europa League, losing 4-2 on aggregate to Braga in the round of 16 despite winning the home leg 2-0.
Manager Robbie Keane left at the end of the 2025-26 campaign but his successor, Balázs Borbély, oversaw an entertaining 4-3 aggregate win over FC Twente in the second qualifying round.
The Greens dug deep after midfielder Rommens was sent off in the first half of the second leg against Twente and they look like tough opponents for Gornik.
