The Hungarian champions (Ferencvaros) will face the Armenian champions (FC Noah) in the second leg of round 2 UEFA Champions League qualifiers. In a fiery first leg the Swiss CB Gartenmann scored an own goal giving hosts FC Noah the lead until Callum O’Dowda and Baranabas Varga scored to perform a comeback. Unfortunately, the visitors saw CB Ibrahim Cissé sent off via straight red card.
Ibrahim Cissé will be suspended due to his red card and Gábor Szalai is set to take his place in the starting XI. FC Noah meanwhile did not have any fixture over the weekend and are set to have a fully fit squad for the trip to Budapest.
Ferencvaros predicted starting lineup: Dibusz; Ötvös, Szalai, Gartenmann, Makreckis; O’Dowda, Keita, Toth, Levi; Varga, Jospeh
FC Noah possible starting lineup: Cancarevic; Sualehe, Muradyan, Silva, Boakye; Hélder , Sangare, Eteki, Grgic; Gregorio, Omar
The current head to head record for the teams is- 1 Win for Ferencvaros as they have never faced each other before the first leg on Tuesday.
Ferencvaros have their home advantage and Robbie Keane will be hoping his men stay calm and focused, avoiding any defensive lapse at the back like last week and keep Gregorio quiet.
Prediction
Ferencvaros should have this in the bag, barring any defensive collapse, Robbie Keane’s men should have a comfortable home win.
Ferencvaros 3-0 FC Noah
The action starts on Wed, Jul 30, 2025, 18:00 GMT at Groupama Aréna.
