The New Saints (TNS)
TNS continues to dominate the Welsh Premier League. The "Saints" have won the Welsh championship for the 15th time in their history and the third consecutive time. In the last season, TNS not only won the championship but did so in a commanding fashion. In 32 matches, TNS achieved 30 victories and only 2 draws, totaling 92 points and finishing 33 points ahead of the second-place team.
In the first qualifying round of the Champions League, TNS predictably defeated the modest Montenegrin club Dečić. In the home match, the Welsh side thrashed their opponents 3-0, and in the return leg away, they recorded a 1-1 draw.
Ferencváros
Ferencváros is one of the highest-ranked teams in the Champions Path of the current qualification. The "Fradi" have regularly reached the group stages of European competitions in recent years, and in the 2020/21 season, they even made it to the group stage of the Champions League. However, the previous season ended in disaster for the Hungarian club in the Champions League, as they were eliminated in the second round by Faroese side KÍ Klaksvík (0:0 and 0:3). Nonetheless, Ferencváros overcame the qualification for the Conference League, eventually reaching the round of 16.
Like TNS, Ferencváros comfortably won their domestic league. The "Fradi" accumulated 74 points in 33 matches, finishing 16 points ahead of second-placed Paksi FC.

The New Saints (TNS) vs Ferencváros prediction
The level of Ferencváros is significantly higher than that of the Welsh representatives, and even without much motivation, they should win comfortably. My bet is on a total over 2.5 goals.
