Ferencvarosi TC vs TNS Predictions

• Ferencvaros won the Hungarian league by 16 points last season
• The Hungarians conceded just three goals in their final seven home games of the campaign
• The New Saints beat Decic of Montenegro 4-1 on aggregate in the first qualifying round

Welsh side look up against it

Welsh Premier side The New Saints will be delighted to have cleared their first Champions League hurdle of the season, but things are about to get a lot tougher against the kings of Hungarian football, Ferencvaros.

TNS coasted to a 33-point triumph in their domestic competition last season, but this looks like being a whole different ball game against a team who also eased to title-winning success.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last 21 away games – a 1-1 second-leg draw against Montenegrins Decic was enough to progress after a 3-0 home win – but everything boils down to the higher quality of opposition they face here.

Home defence can hold firm

The Hungarians, who boast the talent of Barnabas Varga up front, who scored 20 goals last term, did not close the season in rampant mood on their own patch and netted more than once in just one of their final seven home league games.

However, their defensive prowess was evident with just three goals conceded in those outings, so while TNS striker Bradley Young should be champing at the bit after scoring three goals over the two legs of their previous tie, a home win to nil looks the best play, with a 2-0 home win suggested for those looking for a correct-score selection.
