The UEFA Champions League match between Ferencvaros and KI Klaksvik will take place at Groupama Arena at 9:30 pm IST on Wednesday.
Ferencvaros, the Hungarian giants, will host KI Klaksvik, the champions of the Faroe Islands, for the second leg of their Champions League first-round qualifier at the Groupama Arena on Wednesday evening. The tie remains evenly balanced after a goalless draw in the first leg at the Djupumyra Stadium last week.
Ferencvaros had a mixed pre-season with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their friendly matches. In their first competitive match of the season, they were unable to defeat KI, despite dominating possession with 69%. Ferencvaros struggled to break down KI’s resilient defense, with only four of their 10 shots on target. As the reigning champions of the Hungarian top-flight, Ferencvaros is competing in the Champions League qualifiers for the fifth consecutive year and has advanced beyond the second round in the previous four seasons. Last year, they reached the Europa League’s last 16 after topping their group but were eliminated by Bayer Leverkusen. Ferencvaros aims to secure victory at home and have a successful Champions League qualification campaign, potentially reaching the group stage for the third time in their history.
Ferencvaros faces a tough challenge on Wednesday against KI, the 20-time champions of the Faroe Islands. KI has been in exceptional form, losing only one of their 19 competitive matches in 2023. They have started their top-flight title defense with 16 consecutive league victories, scoring 44 goals and conceding just 8, currently leading the table by 12 points. KI’s only setback this year was a 2-0 defeat to B36 in the Faroe Islands Cup. However, they have won their last six away games, netting 21 goals in the process. This is KI’s fifth appearance in the Champions League qualifiers in their 118-year history, and they have only reached the second round once before. The winner of this contest will face either Hacken or The New Saints in the second qualifying round.
Ferencvaros probable starting lineup: Dibusz, Botka, S. Mmaee, Cisse, Civic, Esiti, Barath, Zachariassen, Marquinhos, Varga, Traore
KI Klaksvik probable starting lineup: Johansson, Pavlovic, Vatnsdal, Faero, Joensen, Andreasen, Pavlovic, Da Silva, Frederiksberg, Gussias, Kronberg
