Match Time & Date:
6 August 2025
20:00
Prediction: 1-2
Fenerbahce
Expect a thrilling atmosphere at De Kuip when Feyenoord and Fenerbahce square off against each other in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round. Feyenoord have been struggling in recent warm-up games, losing to all Gent, Nice, and Liefering. As a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be summer signing Stem Steijn, who is widely expected to make his official Feyenoord debut against Fenerbahce.
Jose Mourinho’s troops, on the other hand, defeated Lazio in their last friendly game. The club chiefs have added the likes of Jhon Duran and Nelson Semedo in the summer transfer window, while signing permanent deals with Milan Skriniar and Sofyan Amrabat. Given Feyenoord’s poor form in preseason, we predict that the Turks are going to emerge triumphant in Wednesday’s encounter. Bear in mind, though, that Edin Dzeko is no longer part of Fenerbahce after joining Fiorentina on a free transfer.
Highlighted Player (Miha Zajc):
Born in Sempeter pri Gorici, Slovenia, Miha Zajc started his career in Interblock, recording only five appearances before moving to NK Olimpia on a loan deal. In season 2013/14, the attacking midfielder made 13 appearances in the Slovenian Prva Liga, netting 5 goas in the process.
After yet another loan deal, now with Celje, Miha Zajc moved to NK Olimpia on a permanent deal. The player can perform as an attacking midfielder and as a central midfielder. During his 81 appearances for NK Olimpia, Zajc scored 20 goals and recorded 12 assists, which was good enough for the Empoli officials to sign the 24-year-old for about €1.7 million.
In 2017/18, Zajc helped Empoli win Serie B with 8 goals and 14 assists. Thanks to his good performances, he made his debut for Slovenia national team in March 2016 and has played in 5 games so far, with one goal on his tally.
