Match Time & Date:
13/12/2018
03:00 PM
Prediction: 1-0
Fenerbahce
Thanks to a goalless draw with Dinamo Zagreb in Istanbul, Fenerbahce booked their place in the Europa League last 32. The Turkish side extended their unbeaten run in Group D to four matches and they will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Spartak in Trnava in their last group match. Seeing that Fenerbahce have already got their job done, key players are likely to be rested in Thursday’s football match, therefore, away win should not be considered. Spartak Trnava are eager to give fans some cheer and seeing that a win over Fenerbahce will see them cement third place in the standings, we are tempted to put our money on the Slovaks. You should bear in mind that Radek Latal’s men defeated Anderlecht in front of home fans in their Europa League opener.
