The New Saints v Ferencvarosi

The New Saints vs Ferencvaros Preview

The New Saints face an almost impossible task of overhauling a 5-0 deficit against their upcoming visitors Ferencvaros following last week's thrashing at the hands of their Hungarian opponents in their disastrous 1st leg tie at the Groupama Aréna, so it would be fair to say that the Welsh hosts will be desperate to produce a much better showing this time around, while Ferencvaros bring a five-match unbeaten sequence into this upcoming clash.

The New Saints have managed to capture just one win in their last four games overall in all competitions which came in the form of a 3-0 home win against Montenegro outfit, Decic, in the 1st leg of their previous 1st qualifying round tie in the Champions League.

If TNS are to turn this 2nd leg tie around, the Welsh club will need to emulate their performance against Decic but their Hungarian visitors possess much better quality than the Montenegro counterparts and as a result, TNS may struggle in this return leg.

Goals look likely to feature once again in this 2nd leg tie as no fewer than eight of TNS' last 10 matches overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Ferencvaros look to have one foot in the 3rd qualifying round of this season's Champions League qualifiers after recording a comprehensive 5-0 thrashing of The New Saints in last week's 1st leg tie at the Groupama Aréna and the visitors will be keen to ensure they are in the hat for the final qualifying round of this competition.

The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games overall in all competitions which include picking up victories against Ujpest in the Hungarian top flight along with a pre-season friendly victory over Nafta along with last week's landslide win against Welsh club, The New Saints.

The bigger picture shows Ferencvaros have been formidable opponents for most of their counterparts as Pascal Jensen's side have been dealt just two defeats in their last 21 games overall which were losses against Diosgyor and Paks but the visitors have also registered 15 wins in the process.

Five of Ferencvaros' last 10 games in all competitions have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals and given the ease that the Hungarian outfit despatched their Welsh counterparts in the 1st leg, further goals look likely in this return leg.

On the Champions League front, The New Saints have managed to capture just four wins in their last 15 ties in this competition, while Ferencvaros have registered six wins in their last 15 ties, so the visitors are expected to gain the upper hand again in this 2nd leg tie on Tuesday night.
