Ferencvarosi Budapest vs The New Saints Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Ian John in Champions League Predictions
Hungarian champions Ferencvaros TC face Welsh Premier League winners The New Saints in this second round of qualifying match in the Champions League this week. The first leg will be played in Budapest, with the return leg in Oswestry. FTC and The Saints have never met prior to this encounter, and our prediction is that it could be a tricky first leg for the visiting Welsh Champions.
35-time domestic champions in their native Hungary, Ferencvaros, come into this fixture with a wealth of European experience. They last reached the Group Stages of the tournament in 2020/21. Manager Pascal Jensen will have had his team preparing thoroughly in the pre-season for this, their first fixture of the new campaign. In warm-up games, they have drawn 1-1 with CSKA 1948 and then 2-2 at home with West Ham last week.
While their domestic season may still be a few weeks away from starting, The New Saints have played their first competitive games of the season. A 3-0 win in the First Qualifying round at home to Montenegrin side Decic was followed by a 1-1 draw on the road to earn them a place in the Second Round against their Hungarian opponents. The form of striker Brad Young is attracting interest, with the ex-Aston Villa forward scoring two in that first-leg win over Decic.
The New Saints have only advanced from the Second Qualifying Round of the Champions League once previously, in 2010/11. They have never qualified for the Group Stage of any European competition in their history. The bookmakers have TNS as the long-odds underdogs to progress into the Third Qualifying Round.
Whoever advances from this two-legged tie will face either Shamrock Rovers or Sparta Prague in that third qualifying round.

Our Ferencvarosi Budapest vs The New Saints Prediction
Our prediction for the Ferencvaros vs. The New Saints Champions League Second Qualifying Round match is: Ferencvaros to win to nil.
At this stage of the Champions League, the levels at which teams play are vital. Ferencvaros play against much higher-quality opponents in their domestic league, and their home form offers little scope for The New Saints to land an upset win.
The home side scored 21 goals in their final nine home games last season, conceding just four and a such, backing them to win this first leg without conceding a goal looks the safest value bet to make.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
