Ferencvaros hosts Dynamo Zagreb in the semifinals of the Champions League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 16th at Groupama Arena (Budapest)
Bookmakers somewhat underestimate the most titled club in Hungary, making it an outspoken outsider in a home match. Meanwhile, Ferencváros played in the group stage of the last Europa League, where it took 3rd place after Espanyol and Ludogorets, which outranked the Green Eagles by only one point. In the current qualification of the Champions League, they have already knocked out the Swedish Djurgarden and the Scottish Celtic from the tournament, and the match with the Scots took place on the road. In the local championship, Ferencvaros gained two victories in three rounds and tied with its bitterest rival MTK.

In the last round, Dynamo knocked out the Romanian CFR Cluj from the tournament. However, that match was incredibly difficult. First, the Croats allowed the Romanians to equalize in the added time. Then they gained victory over their opponent only in the penalty shootout. In the local championship, the Blues have a 100% result after four rounds. However, the specificity of the Champions League qualification and level of the upcoming opponent won’t allow Dynamo Zagreb to advance to the next round without problems.
Of course, Dynamo is a very unpleasant opponent. The Blues knocked Ferencváros out of the Champions League a year ago, beating it in Hungary (4-1) and tying at home. However, the Croats are not superior to the Magyars in terms of the squad now. As for the level of the game, they also cannot boast of anything special. The match will take place in Budapest. Since the last meeting, Ferencvaros has become more mature, more experienced and more organized. I don't know whether Rebrov and his men will manage to take revenge for last year's relegation from the tournament. But Ferencvaros is quite capable of not losing to Dynamo in regulation time. The Eagles have not lost in the last 16 home matches. And Dynamo gained only 8 victories in its last 15 away games, but half of them were gained over teams like Gorica, Slaven, Istra, etc.
Prediction for the match: Ferencvaros to win with +0.5 handicap
