- Competition: UEFA Champions League Qualifying
- Date: Tuesday, 23rd, July 2024
- Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20.00 CEST
- Venue: Groupama Arena (Budapest)
Aiming to wrap things up after the first leg, Ferencvaros will host Welsh side TNS at Groupama Arena for the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round on Tuesday evening.
Dominantly and with ease, Ferencvaros marched to their sixth consecutive league title with a 16-point buffer last season, but their bid for a domestic double was thwarted as they suffered a 0-2 defeat against Paks in the Hungarian Cup final. Otherwise, the Greens' preparations for the upcoming campaign have gone smoothly, having remained unbeaten through all five of their friendlies so date, claiming two victories and drawing three times.
Across the road stands The New Saints, a club that had a memorable last season after winning the Cymru Premier title with a magnificent record of 30 triumphs and two draws with zero defeats. In contrast to their Tuesday hosts, the Welsh giants had to kick off their Champions League journey from the first qualifying stage, a hurdle they cleared with ease by knocking out the Montenegrin team Decic through a strong 4-1 aggregate win.
Ferencvaros vs TNS Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)
This will be the first time these two sides cross paths, and we don't believe in any other outcome than the first-leg hosts will handle this task in style and secure a strong lead before heading to Park Hall for the rematch. When it comes to Europe's most elite club competition, TNS have been unable to reach the third-round of qualification in the past 13 years, and last season they fell to a heavy 1-5 aggregate loss to the Swedish side Hacken, which is much weaker than Ferencvaros in terms of quality.
It has often happened that the Welsh giants have been beaten by mediocre teams by margins of two or more goals in the UCL qualifiers, so we don't see them being able to cause an upset against a side with real aspirations of progressing to the Champions League group stage. The gulf in quality is as vast as night and day, so Ferencvaros, who are a formidable force at home, should set foot on the next qualifying round already after the match in Hungary, where we expect them to cruise to a convincing victory.
Ferencvaros team news
Ferencvaros will be without key striker Barnabas Varga, who suffered a severe facial injury while on international duty at Euro 2024 in Germany, with former Red Star forward Aleksandar Pesic expected to fill his spot.
Newly appointed coach Pascal Jansen is likely to leave his summer signings on the bench, but he should still have his strongest possible lineup available for Tuesday’s European clash.

TNS team news
Apart from central defender Ryan Astles, who is unavailable for undisclosed reasons, TNS generally boasts a healthy squad ahead of their challenging trip to Hungary.
After comfortably defeating the Montenegrin side Decic 4-1 on aggregate in the first qualifying round, TNS may rely on the same starting eleven that handled the task successfully.
