FC Barcelona vs Ferencvaros: Preview and Prediction

FC Barcelona start their champions league campaign against Ferencvaros at the Camp Nou. Barcelona are in group with Juventus, Dynamo Kyiv and Ferencvaros. Moreover, Barcelona will be extra motivated in the champions league this season as it may prove to be the last season for Messi at Barcelona. However, Ferencvaros should not be underestimated as they are currently on top the Hungarian league.

Preview

FC Barcelona have been struggling a bit this season and suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Getafe in the last match. Koeman has been trying to introduce a new formation and style of play to Barcelona. Although, Messi by his standards looks subdued this season. The good news is that Coutinho and Fati will likely be back for this match after being rested for the last game.

Whereas, Ferencvaros will be playing this fixture with no fear as their main aim is to pip Dynamo to third place to qualify for the Europa League. Striker Frank Boli will be key for them to get anything out of this fixture.
