Both teams have only one defeat to their name in the qualifying campaign so far, with Qarabag remaining undefeated since their 1-0 loss to Lech Poznan in the opening of the campaign.
Ferencvaros suffered a home defeat against Slovan Bratislava last month and has since scored six goals in three matches in all competitions. Both teams have performed well in the second leg matches of the competition so far, so this match is expected to be highly contested.
Given the advantage of playing at home for Ferencvaros, we back them to secure a narrow victory here.
Prediction: Ferencvaros 2-1 Qarabag
