Barcelona vs Ferencvaros prediction and match preview

LaLiga giants Barcelona were thumped 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the tournament last season. However, the Blaugrana will be hoping to begin their campaign with a win and put that humiliation in their last UCL outing behind them. Barcelona are currently ninth in the LaLiga standings with seven points from four games but suffered a 1-0 defeat against Getafe on Saturday. 

On the other hand, their opponents have made it to the group stages of the Champions League for the first time in 25 years. Serhiy Rebrov led Ferencvaros to their 31st Hungarian League title last season and then beat Djurgarden in August before registering a famous win over Celtic in Scotland. That was followed by a 2-1 victory at home to Dinamo Zagreb before they edged past Molde on away goals over two legs in the playoffs to advance to the group stage of the competition.
