Ferencvaros vs Qarabag Prediction: Tough return leg in Hungary

Ferencvaros will host Qarabag in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. Who will manage to qualify for the playoffs of the most prestigious club tournament?

Prior to Qarabag, Ferencvaros' rivals were Tobol and Slovan Bratislava. In the first qualifying stage of the Champions League, the Hungarian club left no chance for Tobol with a total score of 5-1. Then followed a home failure against Slovan, but a great return in Bratislava, 5-3 on aggregate of two matches in the second qualifying stage of the Champions League. Ferencvaros did not play the previous weekend after playing against Qarabag.

Qarabag played a home game against Sabail in the first round of the Azerbaijani league. The club was stronger than the opponent, with a score of 3-1. Just like Ferencvaros, Qarabag has been playing since the first qualifying round of the Champions League. First, the team defeated Poland's Lech (5-2 on the results of two matches), then it upset Zurich. Playing in the third round of qualification was decided in the additional halves.

The only encounter between the clubs took place last week. Stanislav Cherchesov's players started the game better. Boli put in a brace for the Hungarian club in the first half. Qarabag restored the status quo before the end of the first half with a goal from Owusu. After the break, the clubs could not produce any goals and settled for a draw.

• In four of the last five Ferencvaros matches, both teams scored;
• Ferencvaros scored the first goal in the last five matches in all competitions;
• Qarabag conceded in the last eight matches in all competitions;
• At least three goals were scored in four of Qarabag's last five matches.

Both clubs have a similar problem – poor defensive performance. Also, Ferencvaros and Qarabag have been noted for their good goalscoring performance in the current Champions League qualifying stage. However, the stakes are too high right now: if they win, the team will qualify for the playoffs, and there they have a chance to clinch a spot in the group stage. For this reason, I suggest considering a very tense match, in which few goals will be scored, as well as a lot of yellow cards will be shown. The players of both teams will do everything possible to achieve a positive result.

• Yellow Cards TO (4.75) for 1.57;
• Total Under (2.5) for 1.875;
• 1X+TU (2.5) for 2.34.
