Athletistic/ Football. Ferencváros and KI Klaksvik will play the Champions League qualifier on July 19. Who will succeed?
The first game ended with a big sensation. The islanders were able to defend at home and maintain a goalless draw. This means that the plot is alive. Ferencvaros looked very weak in attack. The team only managed four shots on target. Did not reach 60% possession of the ball. In Budapest, there should be a completely different game.
Ferencváros is one of the Champions League contenders. The team is of good quality. In addition, there is an increase in summer. More recently, experienced Krasnodar defender Ramirez joined the team. The total cost of the composition of the Hungarian champion is estimated at 50 million euros. It is important that none of the key players have left the club. Ferencváros has a backbone of quality legionnaires. At the moment, striker Alexander Pesic is injured. Defeat, but in attack Stanislav Cherchesov has quite a wide choice. The team is capable of playing on a bold scheme. In fact, the Hungarians should have four sharp players just for attack. The game is still under construction thanks to talented Norwegian playmaker Zakariassen.
Ki Klaksvik goes confidently into his championship. The club leads by a wide margin. At the same time, in June, he defeated competitors only with a minimum score. The total transfer value of the Faroese champion does not exceed three million euros. There are several foreign players, but it is clear that their class is not even close to the Champions League. It is very likely that Ferencváros underestimated the level of resistance in the Faroe Islands. For example, last season, the northerners made noise in the European competition, after winning three at home. There is progress, but not to the point of challenging the Hungarian champion.
The bookmakers gradually lower the odds of the favorite. Ferencváros must be rehabilitated for a draw in the first confrontation. The team will certainly aim for defeat. At the same time, there is a theoretical possibility of a goal for guests. The islanders act relatively boldly even on foreign grounds during European Cup matches. If we take the last six meetings of international tournaments, then out of five there was a bet on the total over. It’s logical to assume that the first-half guests will be able to keep the plot going. In this regard, it is the second segment that is considered effective. Bookmakers give rather conservative quotes for the driving scenario, although there are options. For example, a guest goal almost guarantees a total overshoot. Moreover, the hosts are unlikely to be happy with a win even with a two-goal difference.
