After two defeats, Ferencvárosi Torna Club is currently in the next round with a one-goal victory over Nice in the previous round. In order to keep this position, he needs at least one point, but the real progress would be another victory.

Dinamo Kyiv’s frame is worth several billion forints more
The frame of the Hungarian champion is a Transfer market according to 59.33 million euros (24 billion forints). Their most valuable player is Matheus Saldanha, whose playing rights are worth 8 million euros (3.24 billion forints). In addition to him, there are 15 other footballers who taste more than one million euros (405 million forints).
According to the statistics page, the value of the Ukrainian team is 81.5 million euros (33 billion forints). Their two footballers, Mykola Shaparenko and Vladyslav Vanat, are worth 10 million euros (4.05 billion forints). The club’s 22-year-old defensive midfielder <a href="https://www.world-today-news.com/sports-journalist-igor-linnik-comments-on-dynamo-kyivs-loan-returnees/" title="Sports Journalist Igor Linnik Comments on Dynamo Kyiv's Loan Returnees”>Volodymyr Brazhko is worth 7 million euros (2.8 billion forints), but several English clubs are reportedly interested in him, so this amount is likely to increase.
What does Ferencváros need to advance?
According to the simulation of the European Union (UEFA), an average of eight points may be needed to progress, and Ferencváros would already have six at the halfway point of the regular season, if it surpasses its rival. It will not be an easy task for the green and whites, despite the fact that, due to the war in Ukraine, their opponents play their home matches on a neutral field. One of the reasons for this is that the top scorer Barnabás Varga cannot play due to suspension, so the biggest acquisition of the summer transfer period, Saldanha, will certainly be responsible for scoring goals.
The Brazilian attacker, after his great debut – he scored seven times in the first seven games – failed to find the back of the net in his previous four appearances. The fact that FTC has won only one of its last four championships may also be a cause for concern, although it still leads the OTP Bank League with a better goal difference, and it has played in one less game than its direct rivals. Dynamo Kyiv will certainly be highly motivated, as this match will be decisive for them, given that they are currently in the penultimate place in the table with not only a point, but also without a goal scored, so they must win to keep their hopes alive.
