Fenerbahce vs Lugano free tip & prediction

Turkish side Fenerbahce, coached by José Mourinho, will take a one-goal lead into the return leg.

It was no mean feat for José Mourinho to return to European football, as the Portuguese, most recently of AS Roma, led Fenerbahce to victory in the Champions League qualifying round. In the meeting against Lugano of Switzerland, it was everything like a farewell, with an early home lead, a penalty and a 90+ minute goal, before the Turks won the seven-goal game 4-3. The hero of the match, by the way, was veteran Edin Deko, who scored a masterclass goal.

Fener did not play this weekend as the Turkish league has not yet started, but Lugano were on the pitch and beat Basel away. This could be a warning sign for the Turks, who could be very dangerous in front of their home crowd against a team like Lugano.

With seven goals scored in the first leg, the bookmakers have set the goal difference limits as if it were always the case for each team’s game. Let’s not forget who is on the bench in Istanbul and what the score is at the moment.

Mourinho has an advantage that he just needs to maintain for his team, so home or away, we think Fener will start cautiously.
In the first leg, the teams combined for no less than 9 yellow cards, which is a lot. It was a clash full of emotions and twists and turns, and the memories are probably still vivid in the players’ minds. This match is not over yet, so there could be a tense atmosphere on the green turf again, helped by the atmosphere in the Fener Arena.
