Champions League Fenerbahce vs Benfica Prediction

Tuesday evening at 21:00 will be the start of a very interesting match in the Champions League preliminaries, where Fenerbahce and Benfica will be protagonists, the two will meet on “Şükrü Saracoğlu”, where I expect the show to reach high elevations and the gaps to come at both gates.

Fenerbahce is a favorite in this fight, according to the odds offered by betting agencies, its main advantage being its own ground, where supporters should normally play an important role. The Turks had a fairly good run in the previous championship, finishing second in the league, giving them a seat in the Champions League preliminaries, having the chance to return to the most important inter-club competition after a break of one decade. “The Canaries” will have a tough job, requiring a victory at a minimum of two goals in front of Benfica. Phillip Cocu’s band started their adventure in the domestic championship, where in the first stage they won a victory, defeating Bursaspor on their own ground, winning 2-1.

Benfica on the other side is a slightly better, but even more experienced team, but starting with the second chance at betting sites, as expected, being disadvantaged by the fact that it will evolve away. The “eagles”, like their opponents, finished in second place in the previous championship edition, so they started their European adventure in the third round of the Champions League, where they managed a 1-0 victory over the at Fenerbahce, taking an important step towards the play-off, where they will face either PAOK or Spartak Moscow. Rui Vitória’s band also started the championship matches, defeating Guimaraes in the first round, which he defeated 3-2 on his own.
