Ferencvarosi continue their march towards the group stage of the UEFA Champions League as they host Slavia Prague in a third-round qualifier at Groupama Arena. Neither team has a problem finding the net and Wednesday’s clash is likely to produce goals.
Ferencvarosi did the double over Zalgiris to claim a 5-1 aggregate victory in the previous round of the qualifiers. They won 2-0 at home in the first leg before traveling to Lithuania for a 3-1 aggregate victory with Ryan Mmaee netting a brace.
The Hungarians have come through the two previous rounds in the qualifiers and are still maintaining a 100% record. They have shown some attacking quality in recent weeks, scoring 11 goals in just four qualifying matches.
While Ferencvarosi’s attacking style is worthy of praise, the trade off appears to be a leaky defence. Peter Stoger's men have conceded in three of their last four matches across all competitions and head into Wednesday’s clash off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Kisvarda in their opening Hungarian league fixture.
Slavia Prague travel to Budapest off the back of a 3-1 victory over Teplice in a Czech Liga fixture. They were comfortable throughout the contest with Ivan Schranz netting a hat-trick.
The Czech side were handed a bye from the previous rounds and are set to make their first appearance in the competition on Wednesday. Jindrich Trpisovsky's men have already played twice in the Czech Liga this season, winning both matches.
Goals have been easy to come by for Slavia Prague in recent weeks having found the net five times in their last three matches. However, they remain unconvincing in defence with just one clean sheet from their last three fixtures.
