The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of qualifiers this week as Young Boys lock horns with Ferencvaros on Wednesday. Both teams are in impressive form and will want to win this game.
Ferencvaros have dominated the Hungarian league in recent years and gave a good account of themselves in the UEFA Champions League last year. The away side stunned Slavia Prague with an aggregate victory and will need a similar result in this match.
Young Boys were given a run for their money in the league last season but did manage to keep their crown this year. The Swiss giants eased past CFR Cluj in the previous round and will be confident ahead of this match.

Young Boys are an experienced outfit and will look to seize the initiative in this match. Both teams will have to adapt to their opponents' style of play this week to secure a first-leg advantage.
