Our tip: Fenerbahce – Lille: more than 2.5 goals in the match

13.08.2024 19:00

If Slavie make it through to the Champions League playoffs, they will face the winner of the Fenerbahce vs. Lille double-header. The French team is closest to progressing at the halfway stage, leading 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Kosovo striker Zhegrov in stoppage time.

Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho thus has to immediately address the problem in his new job, which dropping out in the third preliminary round would undoubtedly be. Already in the previous one against Swiss Lugano, Fenerbahce unexpectedly had a lot of problems especially in the defensive area, which is otherwise a strong point of his teams. In Turkey, however, The Special One encounters a completely different football culture than he was used to in Western Europe.

Anyway, the squad is above standard by Turkish standards, the attacking power is high and so Lugano outshot them 6-4 and Edin Džeko registered four goals in total. Fenerbahce started the Turkish league with a 1-0 home win over Demirspor and Mourinho had to be satisfied with the defence. However, Lille are a different calibre than the 12th team in the Turkish league.

The previous season, they showed off by reaching the quarter-finals of the Conference League, and two years before that they reached the Champions League eighth-finals. The match against Fenerbahce was the first sharp test of the new season for the club and they had to take the 2-1 win in the end. Just as Fernerbahce is getting used to a new coach, Paulo Fonseca left for AC Milan, with former Lyon coach Bruno Genesio taking over his post. Also gone is stopper Yoro (Manchester United).

What to bet on:

Fenerbahce need to win, but they also need to watch out for a backdoor that is not solid. Given the offensive quality of both teams, they should also score more than two goals in the rematch.

Confidence:

7/10
