Prediction: 0-2
Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce will be aiming to build on a splendid 5-0 win over Zimbru Chisinau when the two teams take on each other at Stadionul Zimbru in the Europa Conference League second qualifying round, return leg. Fenerbahce chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the summer transfer window, with new signings Edin Dzeko and Dusan Tadic already starting to pay-off. Even though head coach is likely to rest several first-team regulars in the reverse fixture, away win should be considered as the experienced tactician has a number of top-class players to choose from.
All King, Batshuayi, Mor, and Kahveci should be recalled to the starting XI. The hosts, on the other hand, face yet another uphill task in Tuesday’s clash and given their shaky defence, Fener win should be considered once again. Ibrahima Soumah is widely expected to replace Vlad Raileanu in Zimbru’s starting XI.
