Fenerbahce and Fehervar will lock horns at the Merkur Arena in Graz, Austria, on Tuesday in a pre-season friendly.
The Yellow Canaries play their penultimate friendly before kickstarting their 2022-23 season later this month with the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Jorge Jesus' side are unbeaten in pre-season thus far, winning three of their previous four games, scoring 11 goals and conceding just four.
It's only pre-season, but the signs are looking good for the Turkish side, who are aiming to end their eight-year-long top-flight title drought. Fehervar, meanwhile, have played just once this summer, demolishing second-tier Hungarian side Dunaujvaros 5-0.
The Vidi could only secure a fourth-place finish in their domestic campaign last season, finishing 23 points behind winners Ferencvaros. However, they secured a place in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
The Szekesfehervar outfit have won thei Hungarian league only thrice, last doing so in the 2017-18 season, and finishing runner-up in the next two seasons. They will hope to bounce back from their disappointing campaign last season. The pre-season presents them an opportunity to try out new formations before the new campaign begins.

Fenerbahce vs Fehervar Prediction
Fenerbahce have played more regularly than Fehervar this summer and have a better squad at their disposal.
Besides their last game against Partizan, which the Turkish side won just 1-0, Jorge Jesus's side have shown incredible attacking spirit. Fehervar, meanwhile, also struck five times in their last and only pre-season game of the summer thus far, but it's unlikely they'll repeat that result here.
Unless Fehervar burst out the blocks, Fenerbahce should win this one comfortably.
Prediction: Fenerbahce 3-0 Fehervar.
