Fenerbahce vs Benfica Prediction & Betting tips
The headliner of the UEFA Champions League play-off is the duel between Fenerbahce, the runner-up of Turkey last season, and Benfica, the runner-up of Portugal last season. The strongest teams in the UEFA Champions League play-off faced each other again this summer in a friendly match in which five goals were scored, in the end, Benfica winning 3-2. Not even a month has passed since this friendly match, so we can say that the two teams know each other very well. In 2018, the two teams faced each other in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League and then Benfica won 1-0 and the return match ended in a draw, score 1-1.
Fenerbahce:
Fenerbahce has only played three official matches so far, the two in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, where we can say that they produced a surprise by eliminating Feyenoord after a 2-1 defeat in the away leg and a spectacular 5-2 home victory in the return leg. Fenerbahce also played one more match in the Turkish Super League, where in the second round they finished in a draw, 0-0 away with Goztepe, after the first round match was postponed. In the next match, Fenerbahce will play at home with Kocaelispor in the 3rd round, after which the return leg with Benfica will follow.
Benfica:
On the other hand, Benfica has played four official matches this season, managing to keep a clean sheet. In the first match, Benfica won the Portuguese Super Cup, 1-0 against rival Sporting, followed by a double with Nice in the 3rd qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, where they managed two identical victories, 2-0. Benfica also postponed its match in the first round of Portugal, but played the second round match, which it won 1-0 away against Estrela.
