Ferencvaros vs Juventus Head-to-Head and Results
Ferencvaros and Juventus have never played an official fixture against each other and will want to get their record in this fixture off to the best possible start. Ferencvaros set up a counter-attacking team against Barcelona last month and will use a similar tactical set-up against Juventus.
Key Stats
Juventus are aiming to avoid consecutive Champions League group stage losses. Last time Juventus lost consecutive games was in 2014 when Andrea Pirlo was still a player for them.
Juventus and Ferencvaros will play each other for the first time since the 1960s when they last played in a European competition.
Morata had 3 goals disallowed last week for offside. No other player in the competition has been caught offside as Morata except Timo Werner ( level at 13 times)
Ferencvaros have shipped seven goals in their two UEFA Champions League matches this season, more than any other side. Only three sides have ever previously conceded 7+ goals in their first two group stage games and then progressed to the next stage, most recently Tottenham in 2019/20.
Ferencvaros could be the 34th different team that Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo scores against in the UEFA Champions League, with only Lionel Messi (36) finding the net against more different opponents than Ronaldo’s current tally of 33.
