In the second leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, a match between Turkey's Fenerbahçe and France's Lille will take place. The game is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13, in Istanbul, with kickoff at 19:00 Central European Time. The match prediction has been provided by Dailysports experts.
Fenerbahçe
The new season promises to be a pivotal one for the Istanbul giant. The team has not won the Turkish Super League for ten years, despite consistently performing at a high level.
In response, José Mourinho was appointed as head coach, under whom the club made several excellent signings. Tadić, Džeko, Shimansky, and others are expected to bring the championship title back to Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
Lille
The French club also underwent a managerial change this offseason, with Paulo Fonseca moving to Milan, though he left behind a highly competitive team.
The "Les Dogues" have not been very active in the summer transfer window and still place their main hopes on Canadian forward Jonathan David. Lille had a solid preseason, suffering only one loss to Germany's Wolfsburg.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head
- In Fenerbahçe's last four matches, at least three goals were scored.
- Lille has conceded in their last six official matches.
- The first match in France ended with a 2-1 victory for Lille.
Fenerbahçe - Lille Prediction
After a disappointing result in the away game, Fenerbahçe will put in maximum effort in front of their home crowd. In terms of squad quality, the Turkish side is at least equal to, if not superior to, their opponent. We expect an attacking game, and I recommend betting on a total of over 2.5 goals.
