Prediction: 1-0
Fenerbahce
Helsinki play host to Fenerbahce at their Bolt Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. HJK produced a fine display in the first leg, but the Turks eventually won the game thanks to Muhammed Gusmuskaya’s goal. Since the Finns were not in action in the national championship at the weekend, home win should be considered. Fener, on the other hand, are on a quest to defend their slim lead at Bolt Arena.
All Dursun, Pelkas, and Yandas are likely to miss the game with injuries, while Ecuador star Enner Valencia returns to the starting XI after he was rested in the league game against Antalyaspor. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on HJK as Fenerbahce are not regarded as good travelers. Aforementioned winger Muhammed Gusmuskaya is pushing for a start as well.
