Ferencvaros vs The New Saints Prediction and Betting Tips | July 23rd 2024
Ferencvaros kick off their UEFA Champions League qualification campaign when they play host to The New Saints on Tuesday. TNS comfortably brushed aside FK Decic in the first qualifying round and will journey to the Groupama Arena looking to secure a first-leg advantage.
Ferencvaros were left spitting feathers in their final warm-up game last Monday as they played out a 2-2 draw with West Ham United after blowing a two-goal lead in the second half.
This wrapped up a decent pre-season for Pascal Jansen’s men, who picked up two wins and three draws while scoring 11 goals and conceding eight in their five friendly matches.
Ferencvaros head into the new campaign off the back of clinching a record-extending 35th Hungarian top-flight title and will be looking to continue from where they left off last season.
The New Saints, on the other hand, cruised through the first round of the Champions League qualifiers as they picked up a 4-1 aggregate win over FK Decic.
The Welsh outfit stormed to a comfortable 3-0 victory at Park Hall in their first-leg clash on July 9, one week before holding out for a 1-1 draw in Montenegro.
TNS also enjoyed a solid pre-season campaign as they won all but one of their six friendly games, with a 5-0 loss against Kilmarnock on July 3 being the exception.
