Match preview
This tie is fine poised, following last week’s first leg at Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium.
Six nights ago, it was Ferencváros who took the lead in Bakı, courtesy of Franck Boli.
However, they weren’t ahead a for long, Owusu Kwabena equalising, and that’s how it finished by the Caspian Sea.
So, it is winner takes all in Budapest.
Having only drawn at home, Qarabağ will need to win on the road to get through this tie.
Since their first in 2014, they’ve featured in eight UEFA group stages, never failing to qualify for one in this period.
Having already ousted Lech Poznań and Zürich, this streak will continue in one competition or another.
Ferencváros meantime have been in a group stage in each of the last three season, including the Champions League in 2020.
Having already overcome Tobol and ŠK Slovan Bratislav this season, the Green Eagles have now won 12 of their last 14 qualifiers.
With this now a one-off match, Stanislav Cherchesov’s side are favourites to progress at Groupama Aréna.
The reward for the winners is a Champions League play-off against Viktoria Plzeň or Sheriff.
The losers drop down into the Europa League play-offs where they’ll take on Shkupi or Shamrock Rovers.
