Ferencvaros vs Juventus prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Champions League 2020-21

The UEFA Champions League returns with another round of fixtures this week as reigning Italian champions Juventus take on Ferencvaros in a Group G fixture at the Groupama Arena. The Bianconeri need to step up to the plate in the Champions League and have a point to prove this Wednesday.

Ferencvaros pulled off a stunning coup against Dynamo Kyiv last week to snatch a point in an exhilarating 2-2 draw. The Hungarian outfit faces a considerably better team this week, however, and will need a miracle to pull off an upset in this game.

Juventus were outclassed by Barcelona in their previous Champions League game and cannot afford to slip up against Ferencvaros. Cristiano Ronaldo made an emphatic return for Juventus over the weekend and will play a pivotal role in this game.

Ferencvaros vs Juventus Head-to-Head

Ferencvaros and Juventus have never played an official fixture against each other and will want to get their record in this fixture off to the best possible start. Ferencvaros set up a counter-attacking team against Barcelona last month and will use a similar tactical set-up against Juventus.

Juventus have not been at their best this season but the return of Cristiano Ronaldo should translate into a comfortable victory for the Italian giants. The Bianconeri have managed only three points in the Champions League so far and need to take it up a notch in the competition.
