Barcelona hosts Ferencvaros in round 1 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 20th at Camp Nou (Barcelona)
The Catalans approach the start of the Champions League in a bad mood. Ronald Koeman's debut as head coach of Barcelona turned out to be successful - the team defeated Villarreal at home (4: 0) and beat Celta on the road (3:0). Then Barcelona could not beat Sevilla (1:1) at home, and last Saturday it lost to Getafe in the away match (0:1). Barça’s fans do not want to remember the ending of last season either, as their favorites were eliminated in the quarterfinals after a 2-8 defeat to Bayern.

Sergei Rebrov has made significant progress after two years spent at the Hungarian club. He has brought Ferencváros to the group stage of the Champions League for the first time in 25 years. In the first three qualifying rounds, the Magyars eliminated such formidable rivals as the Swedish Djurgarden (2:0), Scottish Celtic (2:1), and Croatian Dynamo (2:1). At the playoff stage, they knocked out Norwegian Molde due to away goals (3:3 and 0:0). Moreover, the Green Eagles showed perfect results in the national championship, where they habitually took the lead after losing only two points in the starting five rounds.
Ferencváros has already proved that it is not easily scared. It dealt with the same Celtic away not so long ago, so it is far from certain that Barcelona will win with a hammering score. The Catalans will play with Real Madrid in the next round, so it will be tempting to save as much energy as possible, and there will be no spectators in the stands of the Camp Nou to drive Kuman's team forward. I think the visitors will not lose with a difference of more than three goals.
Prediction for the match: Ferencvaros to win with +3.0 handicap
