Ferencváros and Djurgårdens face at Groupama Arena, in a match for this phase of the UEFA Champions League (1st Qualifying Round). These two teams have never met before, so this will be their first head-to-head meeting. In this match, the home factor may be decisive, as Djurgårdens present considerable differences in their results at home and away.
Ferencváros :
The home team will make its debut in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of achieving a positive result, taking advantage of the home factor. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has registered 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses as a visitor, with 18 goals scored and 15 suffered; against 10 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat in his stadium, with 35 goals scored and 7 suffered. The team comes to this match after an away draw against MTK by (1‑1). In the last 10 home matches for all competitions, Ferencváros won 7 and tied 3. Their attack has scored regularly, scoring goals in 9 of the last 10 matches.
Ferencvaros’ team comes to this match after a one-ball draw in the visit to MTK Budapest, in a game for the Hungarian Championship: Nguen scored the team’s only goal. Coach Sergiy Rebrov must maintain his style of play, that is, he will organize his players in a 4-3-3, favoring a more supported style of play. Ivorian forward Franck Boli is one of the most prominent of this Ferencvaros team and is very strong when it comes to scoring. All players are available for this game.
Djurgårdens :
The visiting team plays its first match in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the intention of achieving a positive result as a visitor. This is a team that curiously tends to achieve more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games they have registered 9 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats as a visitor, with 22 goals scored and 14 suffered; against 8 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium, with 27 goals scored and 18 suffered. In their last match, for the Allsvenskan, they beat Örebro away by (0‑3). In their last 10 away matches Djurgårdens have 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. His attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 games, they suffered the first goal 5 times and only managed 1 comeback.
Djurgarden come into this game after a 0-3 win on the trip to Orebro, adding their second consecutive league win: the team’s goals were scored by Chilufya, Barkroth and Banda. In this match against Ferencvaros, coach Kim Bergstrand must keep the team 4-3-3, with Jonathan Ring, Radetinac and Holmberg being the team’s most offensive references. Midfielder Fredrik Ulvestad is one of the great people responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. For this game the visiting coach cannot count on Abrahamsson, due to physical problems.
