Ferencvaros take on the visitors Shamrock Rovers in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, July 27th at Groupama Arena (Budapest).
Ferencvaros have many new players, lack of balance in the game, and other issues. These words from the former coach, Stanislav Cherchesov, could be understood if the team had lost to a truly formidable opponent. However, losing 0-3 to Klaksvik at home is not an impressive performance. The hosts did not make a strong impression in the first match either. The "Green Eagles" now have no room for mistakes, and it is concerning that Ferencvaros failed to score even once in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Moreover, their friendly matches were not very convincing. The country's championship will only start in early August, and there are concerns about the team's form.

Unlike their opponents, Shamrock Rovers at least have consistent match practice. Although Shamrock Rovers were also eliminated from the Champions League and the national cup, and they haven't secured a victory in their last five matches, it may be due to the demands of playing on multiple fronts. The Irish championship is in full swing, and Shamrock Rovers are currently at the top of the standings. However, their away matches in European competitions have been quite unfortunate. Nonetheless, they gained experience from last season's performances in the Conference League, even though they finished last in their group.
Ferencvaros exhibited a somewhat absurd game organization, appearing slow in their play. They relied on long-range shots and continuous crosses, but there were no well-executed positional attacks. It's reminiscent of Russian football. The Hungarian club has not been particularly impressive so far. Shamrock Rovers, too, have had their challenges recently, but no one expects much from them. However, the guests should at least try to take advantage of Ferencvaros style of play, which is unlikely to change for the better in a short period. Moreover, Shamrock Rovers have already won a direct encounter against Ferencvaros, albeit at their home ground and with a minimal score. I assume that the guests will keep their chances of progressing to the next round before the second leg.
Prediction for the match: Shamrock Rovers to win with +1.5 handicap.
