Molde vs Ferencvaros Budapest Free Betting Tips – Champions League Playoffs
Will Molde become the next Fradi victim?
In qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, there has so far been a downright death of favorites. Highly traded teams and ex-participants such as Celtic Glasgow, Dinamo Zagreb, Red Star Belgrade, Benfica Lisbon or Besiktas have already failed and thus make room for one or the other surprise participant in the elite circle of 32 clubs that are in the group stage of the most important European club competition will be represented.
One of these unexpected participants in the concert of the greats is determined, for example, in the playoff match between Molde and Ferencvaros Budapest. According to the odds, the best bookmakers give the Hungarians slightly better chances of making their first entry into the group stage since 1995, which is primarily because Fradi already eliminated three strong teams in the course of this qualification.
But the Molde FK doesn’t need to hide either. The reigning Norwegian champions had to complete the relatively easier program but had to play away twice. At home, the blue-whites are stronger than abroad, which is why a tip on the home win is considered more likely for the first leg between Molde and Ferencvaros Budapest next Wednesday.
In our eyes, however, it should not be neglected that the green-whites are still unbeaten in the current competitive season and were able to make the last five matches victorious. With this self-confidence and the existing quality, we trust the Rebrov to be successful in the first leg in Northern Europe.

Molde – Statistics & Current Form
The Molde FK can already safely put the mission to defend their title in the Norwegian Elite Series aside. Although only 18 of 30 matchdays have been completed in the far north, the blue-whites are currently second in the ranking a full 16 points behind the still unbeaten front runner Bodo / Glimt, who does not even show the slightest signs of breaking in.
The priorities of coach Erling Moe’s team have therefore shifted in favor of the European Cup. There the four-time national champion has a great chance of reaching the group stage of the Champions League for the first time since 2000 and only for the second time. Just 180 minutes, plus any extra time and a penalty shoot-out, separate the Football Club from the greatest international success in the club’s recent history.
Molde in the league with four bankruptcies from their last five games
The fact that the blue-whites even made it into the playoffs is due on the one hand to the feasible opponents, on the other hand to the nerves of the Scandinavians, who were able to prevail in round two after 0: 1 deficit against Celje and in the previous week away at Qarabag Agdam after penalties retained the upper hand. In the beginning, a problem-free 5-0 win against Kuopio was achieved.
What is our opinion should also be considered for a smart prediction between Molde and Ferencvaros Budapest is anything but a convincing form of the Norwegians. The dress rehearsal last weekend, for example, was lost 2-1 to Valerenga. It was the fourth defeat in the last five league games! The home side, who are also under pressure to deliver a good result in the first leg, should therefore not be very confident.

Ferencvaros Budapest – Statistics & current form
Fradi from the Hungarian capital must be seen as the biggest discovery of this Champions League qualification so far. Hardly anyone would have believed the team of Ukrainian coach Serhiy Rebrov to make it into the playoffs. Now, this performance is further enhanced when you see the well-known opponents the national champion has to deal with.
In the first round, the Swedish champions Djurgardens IF could be defeated relatively confidently 2-0 in their stadium. The second hurdle was even more difficult. Nevertheless, away at Celtic Glasgow a sensational 2-1 success was achieved. After all, Fradi tended to go into the race as an outsider at home against Dinamo Zagreb last week but was again able to assert himself 2-1. Now the first Champions League participation since 1995 beckons!
Ferencavros is still unbeaten this season
The anticipation among the green-whites for the two upcoming playoff matches is huge and the lately steadily increased self-confidence ensures that the odds on the guest promise an extremely attractive value before the first leg between Molde and Ferencvaros Budapest.
If the Rebrov team can build on their recent performances, they will probably be able to work out a great starting position for the second leg in their stadium in the coming week. Incidentally, the residents of the capital 20/21 don’t even know what it feels like to lose. The reigning titleholder started in the league with a solid seven points from three games.
It is also positive that the green-whites only had to play in the cup at the weekend, we’re able to spare some players against a lower-class team and still managed to dominate with 6: 1. In addition to the shape and the slightly higher quality in the squad, the better degree of freshness between Molde and Ferencvaros speaks in favor of the Hungarians.

Molde vs Ferencvaros Budapest – Direct comparison / H2H comparision
The two teams have never faced each other before. For Molde FK it is also the very first match against a Hungarian club. Fradi’s experiences against Norwegian representatives are not particularly positive, however, because in the context of the Europa League qualification 2011/12, the green-whites overtook Aalesund after a return match (2: 1, 1: 3). However, these past results are hardly relevant for the playoff match taking place on Wednesday evening.

Molde vs Ferencvaros Free Betting Tips
It is certainly one of the most interesting pairings in this year’s Champions League playoffs. If only because hardly anyone would have expected such a successful run by the Norwegian and Hungarian national champions beforehand. On Wednesday evening there will be the first leg between Molde and Ferencvaros. The betting odds imply slight advantages for the host, who recently did not appear in particularly good shape.
At the national level, the current runner-up lost four of the last five matches. In the previous qualification games, the Moe team did not convince all along the line, even though the opposition was by no means as well-known as Fradi’s.
Key facts – Molde vs Ferencvaros tips
Molde lost four of the last five league games
Fradi already eliminated Djurgardens, Celtic Glasgow, and Dinamo Zagreb
Ferencvaros is still unbeaten in this competitive season
The bottom line is that there are many factors in favor of the green-whites from Budapest. On the one hand, after the victories against Djurgardens, Celtic Glasgow, and Dinamo Zagreb, coach Rebrov’s men are bursting with self-confidence; on the other hand, the Hungarian national champions are still completely unbeaten in this competitive season. Also, the Ukrainian coach was able to spare one or two top performers during the sovereign cup success at the weekend.
Although the Norwegian champions can compete at home and usually perform better there than abroad, we decide between Molde and Ferencvaros Budapest for the tip that Fradi will win.
