Ferencvaros vs Tobol – Betting Analysis
Tobol more than held their own in the first leg last week, but winning on Wednesday night is a tall order. Although we anticipate a close game, we think Ferencvaros will ultimately prevail, hence we are backing the Hungarian team to move on to the next qualifying round.
