Barcelona – Ferencvaros. Prediction and announcement of the Champions match

On Tuesday, October 20, the first day of the group stage of the Champions League will take place, in which Catalan Barcelona will face Hungarian Ferencvaros at the Camp Nou stadium.

The draw sent these teams to Group G along with Juventus Turin and Dynamo Kiev. The fact that Ferencvaros is coached by former Dynamo footballer and coach Sergei Rebrov increases interest in this match. The Ukrainian specialist has worked for the Budapest club for two years and has led the club to two championship titles.

But the main achievement of Rebrov is the entry of the Hungarian team into the group stage of the most prestigious tournament in Europe, because in the last quarter of a century no coach has managed to overcome the qualification barrier with the Budapest club. On the way to achieving the cherished goal or dreams, Rebrov’s sentries took turns defeating the Swedish Djurgarden (2: 0), Scottish Celtic (2: 1) and Croatian Dynamo Zagreb (2: 1). And in the decisive match for away goals, the Norwegian Molde was sent to the Europa League (3: 3, 0: 0).

As you can see, the Hungarian champion had to perform a mini-feat, so it is not surprising that Rebrov in the capital of the neighboring country is very fond of and is not even allowed to pay in restaurants, which says a lot. It is even more pleasant to follow this team as their colors are defended by Ukrainian midfielders Igor Kharatin and Alexander Zubkov, who, thanks to their recent successes, recently debuted for the Ukrainian team.

Barcelona, ​​unlike the Hungarian club, as usual got directly into the group stage of the Champions League. After a humiliating defeat to Bayern Munich (2: 8) in the quarter-finals of the last tournament, Kike Setiena was replaced by the legendary Dutchman Ronald Koeman on the coaches’ bridge. With the new mentor, the Catalans played four games in the national championship, in which they achieved two victories and lost two points: a draw and a defeat.

So while Barcelona lacks stability. However, the bookmakers are still confident that the Catalans will beat Ferencvaros without a problem and give the hosts a small 1.10 odds. The possible winnings in the event of a draw or a mega-sensational victory of the guests look much tastier, you can win, respectively, 13 and 35 times more than the bet. But that optimism seems very risky, so it makes sense to put a small amount in X2, which you don’t mind losing. At the very least, it will be more interesting to support the Rebrov guys.
