Ferencvaros Prediction – Can Ferencvaros use home comforts?
After holding Dinamo Zagreb to a worthy 1-1 draw in last week’s 1st leg at the Stadion Maksimir in Croatia, it’s now seemingly advantage Ferencvaros ahead of this 2nd leg.
The Hungarian club now return to home turf and their Groupama Aréna in Budapest but can they now convert home advantage into a win?
It’s been a very lengthy start to Ferencvaros’s season as the hosts have played no fewer than 8 pre-season friendlies, winning 7 of these.
Whilst we don’t tend to place too much importance over the results of pre-season warm-up matches, this sequence has helped Ferencvaros in these Champions League qualifiers.
The hosts have progressed through the first two qualifying rounds of this competition with wins against Bulgarian side, Ludogorets and Maltese club, Valletta.
Overall, Ferencvaros bring a 5-match unbeaten run into this 2nd leg in the Champions League having recorded home and away wins over Ludogorets.
They also beat Valletta 3-1 in their home leg, so the Hungarian hosts will be in confident mood that they can progress to the play-offs here.
Dinamo Zagreb Prediction – Can Dinamo Zagreb assert their authority?
Although they could only muster a 1-1 draw in last week’s 1st leg at their Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb, Dinamo Zagreb still remain in this tie.
The visitors may not be too fazed by last week’s failure to convert home advantage into a win as they bring an 11-match sequence without defeat into this deciding leg.
Dinamo Zagreb have reached this 3rd qualifying round stage of the Champions League by virtue of their previous round win over Georgian outfit, Saburtalo.
The Croatian visitors recorded a convincing 5-0 aggregate win to progress to this stage, and they’ll be confident they can still turn over Ferencvaros in this 2nd leg.
Results away from home in recent weeks suggest that Dinamo Zagreb could be a tough opponent for Ferencvaros despite being on the road.
The visitors have lost just 1 of their last 8 away matches which was a 1-0 loss at Polish side, Cracovia Krakow in a pre-season friendly.
Switch to the Champions League and Dinamo Zagreb are unbeaten in their last 4 away ties in this competition.
Wins at Astana and Saburtalo have been complemented by draws at Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Young Boys.
Key-Facts – Ferencvaros v Dinamo Zagreb
- Ferencvaros are unbeaten in their last 5 Champions League ties overall
- Dinamo Zagreb are unbeaten in their last 4 away ties in this competition
- Dinamo Zagreb have lost just 1 of their last 8 away matches in all competitions
Betting Tips Verdict
Despite being away from home, I fancy Dinamo Zagreb to keep things tight here and perhaps nick an away win.
