FTC-Toyota Kovács host Borussia Dortmund at the Érd Arena at 16:00 on Saturday. The club’s latest preview links two stakes: a sixth Champions League win this season would also be Ferencváros’s 150th victory in the competition.

A milestone offers no protection from a comeback

In the preview, Petra Simon points to Dortmund’s recovery from nine goals down against CSM. BSR’s viewing focus is therefore how FTC manage a lead: watch the minutes following turnovers and how many organised attacks they allow while opponents close the gap. This is an observation framework, not a prediction of the game’s course.

The official schedule also confirms 16:00. Doors open at 14:30 and on-site ticket sales begin at 13:00; online tickets are on the club’s ticket site. The exact spectator price has not been verified. More in our handball section.
