Ferencvaros hosts Djurgarden in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 19h at Groupama Arena (Budapest)
Ferencvaros is a club with a glorious history. The team twice played in the Fairs Cup final (the forerunner of the current Europa League) and participated in the Cup Winners' Cup final. However, these are things of bygone days. In our time, Ferencvaros' achievements on the international arena are more modest, but the team has been participating in European cups for seven seasons in a row, and it appeared in the group stage of the Europa League, where it looked more than worthy in the company of CSKA, Espanyol and Ludogorets. In general, Ferencvaros can be called an experienced European Cup fighter. They have won the Hungarian Championship for the second season in a row, with a clear advantage and a large lead over their pursuers.

Djurgarden won the Swedish championship unexpectedly, if not accidentally. Before that, a similar achievement was gained back in 2005! I think Djurgarden cannot be attributed to the flagships of Swedish football. This season, it is in a more familiar third place, lagging behind the leader Malmo by six points. The year before last, Djurgarden did not participate in European Cup qualifiers because it took only 7th place in the championship. A season earlier, the club ignominiously lost to Ukrainian Mariupol in the first qualifying round of the Europa League. Before that, the team was a middle peasant and did not apply for places in the European Cup zone.
Ferencvaros has a much more solid and successful European Cup experience. Although the Swedish championship is stronger than the Hungarian one, Djurgarden does not belong to its grandees. Ferencvaros is one of the strongest clubs in its country, and it won the last two seasons with a big margin from competitors. It seems to me that Ferencvaros is stronger now. It should perform well in the home match.
Prediction for the match: Ferencvaros to win with 0.0 handicap
