Ferencvaros vs Dynamo Kyiv prediction, preview, team news and more

Ferencvaros will play their first Champions League home game in 25 years on Wednesday as Dynamo Kyiv arrive at the Groupama Arena in Budapest.

The Hungarian champions, back in the competition for the first time since the 1995-96 season, were handed a baptism of fire on their return by Barcelona last week, going down 5-1 at the Camp Nou.

Now back on home turf, Serhiy Rebrov's side will look to get their European campaign back on track with a win.

Kyiv, who themselves lost 2-0 to Juventus on the opening day, might not boast a stellar record in Europe's premier club competition but have the top-flight pedigree.

This is their 17th time in the Champions League group stages, and they are heavy favorites to finish third in the group and qualify for the Europa League.

Dynamo Kyiv don't have goalkeeper Georgiy Bushchan and Vitaliy Mykolenko back from their coronavirus-enforced absence yet, while Mykyta Burda and Volodymyr Kostevych are long-term casualties.

Centre-forward Artem Besedin is still available due to his doping ban and will only return after December 20, meaning he will sit out of the entire group stage.
