On August 13, the Gruppama Arena will host the return match of the 1/2 final of the Champions League qualification, in which Ferencvaros will play against Middtjylland. Ready detailed prediction from the experts of Dailysports.
“Ferencvaros”
The team in the spring took the sixth consecutive championship title in Hungary, again proving that there is no, and so far is not expected, a clear competition - the final gap from "Paks" amounted to a dozen and a half points. However, having certain successes on the Euro arena, "Fradi" in this generation only once, under Sergei Rebrov, made it to the group stage of the Champions League - the other times ended in qualification.
Now they are making a new attempt. "New Saints", the first opponent, was simply satisfied with the fact that they had already passed their first opponent, and did not offer any special struggle. Denmark, on the contrary, did not respond to a couple of conceded goals with nothing.
“Middtjylland”
The club does not have such a "preferential" atmosphere in the home country - here rather as the main favorite is habitually considered "Copenhagen". Last season, the "lions" gave up, and this opened the way for the "wolves" to the fourth title - all, by the way, taken in ten years, starting from 2014/2015.
In the new season, the team is already losing points, also because they are more focused on the Champions League, so they started with draws against Aarhus and Norschellan, while "dry" passing their first opponent in qualification, Unio Esportiva Santa Coloma. And "only" with "Aalborg" managed to win, still now occupying the position of catching up with the current leaders even at 2-0 with "Vaile" at the weekend. Hosting the Hungarians, formalized the same, "grandmaster" victory, when there was no answer to the goals of Buksa and Ju.
Interesting facts and head-to-head encounters
- "Ferencvaros" won four times in the last five matches
- "Middtjylland" has won four times in a row, and “dryly”
- In 2017, the Danes won both matches in the Europa League
Ferencvaros vs Middtjylland Prediction
Bookmakers quite admit the victory of the Hungarians. But the Danes are important not to concede, which they do well. Let's bet on "total less than 2.5 goals" (odds - 1.9).
