Champions League betting and spectator preview: Ferencváros and Djurgården meet at Groupama Aréna to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

Djurgården could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Allsvenskan game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Örebro, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Djurgården.

15-1-7 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Djurgården when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 23 matches are 32-18 (scored/conceded).

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Djurgården, who are travelling more than 1900 kilometers to play this game.

Ferencváros form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 3rd qualifying round.

Ferencváros has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Groupama Aréna. We remember; it was Honved.

The home team returns to Groupama Aréna after being equal after 90 minutes with MTK on their last time out; the NB 1 game ended 1-1. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Mezokovesd-Zsory.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ferencváros perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ferencváros as a small favourite), we find two games. Ferencváros has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Ferencváros as they have a new game in only three days, a NB 1 match thankfully also at home. Diosgyor are visiting.

Djurgården form and stats

Djurgården's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round.

The story so far for the visiting team on their Allsvenskan travels is 5 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. It’s been three wins in a row for Djurgården on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.

It's the second away game in a row for Djurgården, but there's smiles all around after the 3-0 victory versus Örebro in the Allsvenskan last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Mjallby.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Djurgården in our archives, and the results are: one win for Djurgården, zero draws and zero defeats.

A new game in only three days for Djurgården, the Allsvenskan home match versus IFK Göteborg. Busy days.

The visiting Djurgården have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 8 games. Djurgården are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
