Tobol Kostanay and Ferencvarosi prediction, preview, team news, and more

Tobol Kostanay and Ferencvarosi will get their UEFA Champions League qualification quest underway when they lock horns at the Ortaliq Stadion on Wednesday.

Tobol head into the game unbeaten in each of their competitive home games this year and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

Tobol failed to move to the top of the Kazakhstan Premier League as they were held to a 2-2 draw by FC Turan last Friday.

Prior to that, they were on a three-game winning streak, scoring eight goals and conceding three in that time.

With 25 points from 15 games, Tobol are currently fourth in the Premier League table, two points off first-placed Astana.

Elsewhere, Ferencvarosi wrapped up their pre-season in style as they claimed a 4-1 victory over German side Karlsruher.

They are now unbeaten in all but one of their last six games across all competitions, claiming four wins and one draw.

Ferencvarosi secured their 33rd league title last season and will look to pick up where they dropped off with a victory on Wednesday.
