They drew 3-3 at Molde in the first leg of their play-off tie and went through on away goals after a scoreless home draw in the return. • The most successful of Fradi's 12 previous European Cup campaigns came in 1965/66, when they got as far as the quarter-finals before losing to Internazionale. • Ferencváros are the first Hungarian club to feature in the UEFA Champions League group stage since Debrecen in 2009/10 – only the country's second appearance after Ferencváros in 1995. • Ferencváros are unbeaten in their last five home European matches (D2 L3). • That 1975 meeting with Dynamo is Ferencváros's only previous fixture against a Ukrainian club.
