Ferencvaros vs Tobol prediction, preview, team news, and more | UEFA Champions League Qualifiers 2022-23
Ferencvaros will entertain Tobol at the Groupama Arena in Wednesday's second leg of the UEFA Champions League first-round qualifying.
The first leg at The Central Stadium in Kazakhstan ended in a goalless draw last week, so it all comes to this decisive second-leg tie for both teams as they look to qualify for the next round of fixtures.
Ferencvaros qualified for the 2020-21 group stage of the Champions League and last season's Europa League. They finished dead last in both these campaigns and were eliminated from the group stage. Tobol, on the other hand, have never qualified for the Champions League finals.
Ferencvaros have had a week's rest to prepare for the game while Tobol took part in the group stage of the Kazakh Cup and suffered a 6-1 hammering at the hands of Taraz.
