The UEFA Champions League returns to the fold with a set of crucial qualifiers this week as Young Boys take on Ferencvaros on Tuesday. Both teams have been impressive so far and could potentially qualify for Europe's premier competition this year.
Young Boys have excelled in the Swiss Super League and managed to maintain their hold on the league title. The Swiss giants have impressive players in their ranks and have a point to prove this week.
Ferencvaros, on the other hand, gave some of Europe's best teams a run for their money in the Champions League last week. The Hungarian outfit is a dominant domestic force and will want to make an impact on the European front this year.
Ferencvaros vs Young Boys Head-to-Head
Young Boys have a good record against Ferencvaros and have won the only game played between the two teams. Ferencvaros have never defeated Young Boys in an official fixture and could potentially create history on Tuesday.
