• Recommended bet: Draw

Robbie Keane's Ferencvaros have beaten Noah (6-4 on aggregate) and Ludogorets (3-0 on aggregate) in the Champions League and face Qarabag in the first leg of their play-off round tie on Tuesday.

The Azeris have overcome both Shelbourne (4-0 on aggregate) and Shkendija (6-1 on aggregate) and beat FTC 3-1 when the duo met in Budapest in 2022.

Gurban Gurbanov's side have won both of their away matches in this season's Champions League.

Ferencvaros have also triumphed in both of their European home outings, suggesting the pair could cancel each other out in the Hungarian capital.

Team news

Keane made 10 changes for Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Puskas Academy and are expected to restore most of the side that beat Ludogorets last week.

Ibrahim Cisse's availability also boosts the Irishman after the defender completed a European suspension, while in-form Barnabas Varga should lead the line.

Reserve goalkeeper Amin Ramazanov is Qarabag's only absentee with a knee injury and the Azeris could select a former Ferencvaros player, Kady Borges, who left in February after an unsuccessful spell in Budapest.

The stats

This will be the duo's third competitive meeting, having previously clashed in the third qualifying round of this tournament, drawing 1-1 in Baku before Qarabag won 3-1 in Budapest in the 2022-23 season.

Ferencvaros striker Varga has scored four times in as many 2025-26 Champions League games.

Qarabag duo Leandro Andrade and Nariman Akhundzade have both scored twice in this season's competition.

Prediction

Ferencvaros last reached the group stages of the 2020-21 Champions League and Keane will fancy his side to end that absence against Qarabag.

The Hungarian champions rotated at the weekend to ensure they are fresh and will be looking to use home advantage against their Azeri equivalents, who previously played in the main part of this competition in 2017-18.

Considering their respective home and away records, both have reasons to be optimistic, and could cancel each other out and take a tie into next week's return match at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium.
