Ferencvaros v Juventus live stream, BT Sport, Wednesday 3 November, 8pm GMT

Juventus will be looking to bounce back from last week’s loss to Barcelona when they take on Ferencvaros on Wednesday.

Andrea Pirlo’s side were second best throughout that meeting with Barca on matchday two, with the visitors ultimately running out 2-0 winners at the Allianz Stadium. Sunday’s 4-1 thrashing of Spezia was a fine response to that setback against Lionel Messi and co., but Juve must now set about putting a run of wins together after an inconsistent start to the campaign. The Italian champions may be unbeaten in Serie A so far in 2020/21, but they have drawn three of their six games to date and again look overly reliant on Cristiano Ronaldo.

The return of the Portugal international following his recovery from coronavirus is a major plus point going into Wednesday’s game. Ronaldo might ordinarily have been rested for the trip to Hungary, but his absence from recent starting XIs means he is likely to play from the first whistle here. He looked as sharp as ever on Sunday, coming off the bench to notch a brace against sorry Spezia.

Matthijs de Ligt looks set to miss out again, although he could be fit enough to return for Juve’s meeting with Lazio in Serie A on Sunday. Leonardo Bonucci looks set to partner Merih Demiral at centre-half, with Giorgio Chiellini not yet ready to return to the starting line-up. Aaron Ramsey is back in the fold following his own injury lay-off, while Dejan Kulusevski could come in for Ferderico Chiesa.

Ferencvaros lost 5-1 to Barcelona on matchday one, before turning in a spirited showing in last week’s 2-2 draw with Club Brugge. Qualification for the last 16 is a big ask, but the Hungarian side will fancy their chances of pipping Dynamo Kyiv to third place in Group G.

Kick-off is at 8pm GMT and the game is being shown on BT Sport Extra 2 in the UK. See below for watching details where you are. 

Use a VPN to watch Ferencvaros v Juventus live stream from outside your country

We know, we know, this has crept up on you a bit. So what if you’ve organised a quick winter break and you’re out of the country for the first Champions League week of the season?

We can help. If you’re out of the country for this round of Champions League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address, and you’ll be blocked from watching.

But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:

1. ExpressVPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee)

The recommended VPN of choice. FourFourTwo’s brainy pals TechRadar love ExpressVPN's lightning-quick connections, security you can trust, and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 plus plenty more. It also comes with that money-back guarantee, has 24/7 support, is currently available for a 49% discount and with three months FREE. Grand.

2. Nord VPN (inc. 30-day, money-back guarantee)

A cheaper option; its cheapest package current averages at a titchy £2.29 per month.

3. IPVanish (inc. seven-day money-back guarantee)

Slightly more expensive but supports up to 10 devices, and you can pay up your hard-earned every three months if required.
