The second leg of the first qualifying round in the UEFA Champions League sees Hungarian side Ferencvaros taking on Faroese club KI Klaksvik. The 34-time Hungarian champions come into this match after drawing 0-0 in the first leg match in the Faroe Islands. They now return to the Groupama Arena where they are heavily favored to get the win and advance to the second qualifying round. Ferencvaros are still a few weeks out from the start of the new Nemzeti Bajnokság I season but they were able to get a number of friendly matches in before the first leg of this tie. The hosts have lost only once in their last six matches across all competitions although they have only recorded two wins during that time. Ferencvaros were formidable at home last season in the domestic league. They racked up 10 wins from 16 matches with a +19 goal differential.

Klaksvik have a fairly extensive history in UEFA qualification although they have never made it to the group stage in any competition. Their best run came in the 2020/21 season where they lost in the Europa League playoff against Dundalk. KI come into this fixture in the midst of the Faroe Island Premier League season. They’ve been the dominant team in the division with a perfect 16 wins from 16 matches played up to this point. Klaksvik have built up an impressive +36 goal differential in the league by way of 44 goals scored and only eight conceded. Away from home has actually seen the Faroese club perform better on the year as they are averaging an incredible 3.25 goals scored per away trip while conceding an average of 0.63. The visitors did well to keep the match close in the first leg and we could very well be in for a similar type of match in Hungary.
