Ferencvaros hosts Slavia Prague in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 4th at Groupama Arena (Budapest)
Ferencvaros started its way in the Champions League qualification from the 1st round. The Green Eagles defeated Kosovo Pristina (3-0 and 1-3) and Lithuanian Zalgiris (2-0 and 1-3) in two-legged confrontations. Fradi’s start in the national championship was not so confident. On July 31, Stoger's footballers lost to Kisvarda at home with a score of 1-2. All goals were scored after the break. By the 64th minute, the visitors upset Adam Bogdan twice, and Ferencváros only narrowed the gap thanks to a penalty shot by Ryan Mmaee.

Slavia Prague, which took first place in the last Czech championship, starts the European Cup campaign with the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. Slavia is approaching the start of the European competition in high spirits. The team from Prague has successfully started its performance in the new season of the Czech championship. On July 25, the Red-and-Whites defeated Fastav Zlin away (0-1), and on July 30, they achieved success in the away match against Teplice (1-3). Two consecutive victories brought the club from Prague to the top of the championship standings. Having six points, Trpisovsky's men share the lead in the standings with Sparta, Viktoria Plzen, and Slovacko.
Ferencváros went through two rounds of qualification, but now the Green Eagles will face a much stronger opponent. Slavia reached the quarterfinals of the Europa League in the last European competition. The Prague team took 2nd place in the difficult group with Bayer Leverkusen, Nice, and Hapoel Beer Sheva. And the Red-and-Whites knocked out Leicester and Rangers. Only London's Arsenal slowed down Trpisovsky's team, which is now aiming to play in the Champions League group stage for the second time in three seasons. The Hungarians will not be the favorites of the confrontation, but they are capable of offering battle at home, where they won four out of five last official matches. The teams must exchange goals. Taking into account the friendly matches, Ferencváros scored at least one goal in the last 13 games, and Slavia did it in 11 games in a row.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
