Who will support Barnabas Varga in attack?
Since the departure of Lajos Detari (2012), the Hungarian record champions have only hired foreign coaches. Robbie Keane is currently in charge of the Green and Whites. The 45-year-old Irishman has averaged 1.97 points from his 34 games so far. Whether further points will be added in the form of a victory remains to be seen in our Qarabag FC vs. Ferencvaros Budapest tip.
The result from the first leg in Hungary (3-1 away win for Qarabag FC) sounds more clear-cut than the game actually was. Barnabas Varga initially put Fradi ahead with his fifth goal in his fifth Champions League qualifying game. We definitely have to take his finishing qualities into account in our Qarabag FC vs. Ferencvaros Budapest prediction.
However, a clear improvement in performance after the break enabled the representatives from Azerbaijan to stage a 3-1 comeback victory. Qurban Qurbanov’s team scored 72 percent of their expected goals after the break. The lead from the first leg makes Atlilar the favorites in the Qarabag FC vs. Ferencvaros Budapest betting odds comparison.
