Midtjylland – Ferencvaros Predictions and Preview

  • FC Midtjylland, one of only two teams to progress through the second qualifying round with two clean sheets, is ready for another chance to make it past the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League. They faced a setback at this stage last time, losing to Cypriot club AEK Larnaca in a penalty shootout. However, they are confident this time around after a ten-game unbeaten streak across two seasons.
  • Head coach Thomas Thomasberg is optimistic that new signing Victor Bak will return after missing the second leg of the UEFA Champions League win over UE Santa Coloma. He also hopes that Brazilian Paulinho will be available to strengthen the team. Thomasberg hopes these players can help them move closer to reaching the UEFA Champions League group/league stage for the first time since 2020/21.
  • However, their home record of one win in five UEFA Champions League qualifiers since then offers no guarantee that they will start their two-legged tie against Ferencváros, a Hungarian team, with a win.
  • Ferencváros is in a similar situation as their Danish hosts. They also made their most recent UEFA Champions League group/league stage appearance in 2020/21. However, they finished winless and last in their group along with Midtjylland. A 7-1 aggregate win over Welsh champions The New Saints kicked off their first set of competitive games under Pascal Jansen, their new manager. Before that, they opened their league season with a 1-0 win over Kecskeméti.
  • Jansen has extensive experience in UEFA competitions as the former boss of AZ Alkmaar. New signing Kady Borges also has experience in continental football, representing Qarabağ across two seasons. Ferencváros is now a seasoned traveler and has performed well on the road in recent seasons.
  • In last season’s Conference League, their home and away record was precisely the same (W4, D2, L1 each). They also earned a win or draw in each of their last five UEFA Champions League qualifying round away games.
  • Players to watch: Franculino Djú, a 20-year-old Bissau-Guinean forward, recorded either a goal or an assist in both of Midtjylland’s games in the second qualifying round. Kristoffer Zachariassen, a midfielder, was on the scoresheet in both of Ferencváros’ victories over TNS.
  • Hot stat: Ferencváros conceded 2+ goals in only one of their last nine UEFA away matches.
