Fenerbahçe will play an important Champions League match against Lille tomorrow. This is one of the most decisive matches of the season for Fenerbahce. Lille are a strong team and it's not difficult for Fenerbahce to get through. I think Fenerbahçe is better in terms of squad quality and team, but Lille has more experience in the Champions League. Even a draw for Fenerbahce in tomorrow's game would mean a place in the round.
I'm not sure that Fenerbahce is superior to Lille in terms of squad, I think that in this pair Lille looks like the favorite, and if Mourinho manages to reach the group stage of the Champions League, it will be a great achievement. Fenerbahce will most likely try to play this match in a draw, for Mourinho it has always been a priority not to lose away, but in the matches with Lugano we saw that Fenerbahce has problems with defense, so I think that Lille will also be able to score today.
Well, the first real test of the season for Fenerbahçe. Though they had a hard time against Lugano, but it was more like a friendly game for me. I'm not sure how you guys all have this confidence. It's hard to imagineFenerbahçe will win with everything stacked against us. Fenerbahçe are potentially missing some of their best players due to various reasons.
Also, all odds are not favoring Fenerbahçe. The bad thing is we're going to miss Fred from the game against Lille, and this is due to his injury. Jose Mourinho, as Fenerbahce coach, had no time with the team to fix the loopholes in its defensive line.
I personally feel pessimistic to bet on Fenerbahce because of this is gonna be an away game for them. The good thing is, if they lose, and they go to the Europa League. Fenerbahçe won't have to play any qualifiers.
I'm wondering what kind of line-up is gonna be used by Mou, and hopefully Krunic is gonna be a part of starting line up.
