Djurgadens and Ferencvaros will go head to head this evening at 19:00hrs at tif Aréna in Budapest.
Should Banda and Chilufya start it will be their first time playing in Europe’s most prestigious Competition, The UEFA Champions League.
The 2017 U-20 AFCON winning duo were on target over the weekend with a goal each in the league and will hope to carry that form into the Champions League.
There is no replay in these qualifying rounds hence the Swedish Champions will have to beat the Hungarian side outright of they want to progress to the second round.
