One of the first-legs of the UEL Round-of-16 sees Hungary’s Ferencvarosi and Portugal’s Braga battle it out at Groupama Arena in the capital city of Budapest. This will be the first time that these teams have ever met.
In comparison to their rock-solid start to the European campaign, winning all of their first three, Braga have since found themselves grappling for the crucial points. Three out of their last five have been ties or losses, then the remaining two wins being by just one goal to zero, though it seems they were the inferior team and have had some luck on their side.
It must be said, Vicens’ men have done very well in keeping lots of clean sheets in view of the xG they’ve been conceding, but they may not be as fortunate coming up against an eager Ferencvarosi Side who have scored lots on home soil, and who I can’t imagine will be wanting to miss out on the chance to have a good start with the support of a Hungarian crowd.

Our Ferencvarosi Budapest vs SC Braga Prediction
Looking at the early market, and the performances of the home squad, the player that really catches the eye is Bamidele. In this campaign, the Nigerian has been very dangerous, and will be one that Braga need to look out for; he has produced the 5th highest number of shots in the UEL with 25, whilst he's put away four goals in the eight European games that he’s started. Plus, he's coming here in steaming form with three goals in his last two matches.
As a team, the hosts have been very consistent in finding the net when playing in Budapest, and Bamidele, also known as Dele, is definitely Ferencvarosi’s most threatening attacker, so I think the early odds aren’t considering this enough.
Our Ferencvarosi vs Braga Pick: Yusuf Bamidele to Score.
