Barcelona can move one step closer to winning Group G of the UEFA Champions League when they travel to Hungary for a tie with Ferencvaros on Wednesday night. The Catalan giants tore their opponents apart in the reverse fixture at the Camp Nou, several teenagers shining and scoring in the 5-1 victory. Barcelona are top of the group, three points ahead of Juventus, after four games thanks to a perfect record in this campaign. Ferencvaros, meanwhile, are bottom, having avoided defeat in only one of their four group games, a 2-2 draw at home to Dynamo Kyiv. While Ferencvaros's points tally is low, manager Serhiy Rebrov will be proud that his team has managed to score in every UCL game. They come into this match unbeaten in four of their five previous contests. In all competitions, they have only lost one of their last 26 games at home, that loss coming at the hands of Juventus on matchday three. 

Barcelona are beginning to recover from a shaky start to the season. Of their last seven matches in all competitions, only one has ended in defeat. A 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid one week ago was both humiliating and potentially costly, but they have bounced back with consecutive 4-0 wins across two competitions. They have only won two of their last five away games, but they have both been in the UCL. With the gulf in class between Barca and Ferencvaros appearing so distant when they last met, Ronald Koeman may choose to rest his key players. This rotation could present opportunities for the likes of Martin Braithwaite. The striker has made the most of his cameos for Barca, averaging one goal every 65 minutes. Mind you, that's only three goals, but maybe his tally would be more remarkable if he played more. Back Braithwaite to score anytime.
