Ferencváros vs Real Madrid Preview, Prediction and Match Analysis
Ferencváros vs Real Madrid is Real Madrid’s second pre-season test and their first match at the Ferencváros Stadion in Budapest.
Madrid began their preparation fixtures against Fiorentina and now face Hungarian opposition as José Mourinho continues building toward the start of La Liga.
Ferencváros will have home support and should be further along physically, which can make this more demanding than the difference in squad reputation suggests.
Bernardo Silva has been included in the Real Madrid squad and could make his debut, giving supporters another major reason to watch the midfield combinations.
Prediction: Ferencváros 1-3 Real Madrid

Ferencváros vs Real Madrid: Tactical Preview and Match Story
Real Madrid are expected to dominate possession and spend long periods in the Ferencváros half, but the hosts can make the match uncomfortable through pressing, set pieces and fast counter-attacks.
Madrid’s midfield selection will be closely watched. Bernardo Silva’s possible debut offers Mourinho another technically secure player who can operate between the lines or help control possession.
Ferencváros should look to attack the spaces left when Madrid push their full-backs forward. Direct passes into the channels could be their most effective route to chances.
For Madrid, physical preparation and tactical cohesion matter as much as the result as the squad builds toward competitive football.
