Ferencváros and Dynamo Kyiv get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Dynamo Kyiv have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

After failing to beat Honved here at Groupama Aréna, Ferencváros has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with eleven wins in a row.

The Ferencváros goalkeeper Denes Dibusz is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 266 minutes without conceding a goal in the NB 1.

Ferencváros's previous game was a NB 1 match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Ujpest. The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Barcelona (1-5).

The mentioned statistics is only from the league, looking at the Champions League stats, they have 3 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss both home and away.

Lucescu has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 1 conceded goal. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
