Fenerbahce (Tur) vs Feyenoord (Ned) prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – Qualification betting tips on match 2025-08-11 17:00.
[p]Fenerbahçe have it all to do in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) third qualifying round against Feyenoord after losing the first leg 2-1 away from home last week.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]JosĂ© Mourinho’s Fenerbahçe side canât complain about any scheduling issues as their weekend league game against Alanyaspor was postponed to give them more preparation time for this fixture. Their situation echoes their 2024/25 campaign when they lost the first leg at this stage 2-1 to Lille, but they will obviously need more than the 1-1 draw they achieved at home on that occasion. The fact this is only their second competitive outing this term raises doubts over how match ready they are, but with a first UCL main draw appearance since 2008/09 remaining the ultimate prize, they have plenty of incentive here.[/p]
[p]Aiming to take full advantage of any rustiness and combat the usual talk of being welcomed to âhellâ that accompanies trips to Turkey, Feyenoord kicked off their Eredivisie campaign by beating NAC Breda 2-0 on Saturday. After winning their first two competitive fixtures of the season, head coach Robin van Persie is enjoying a strong start to his first full campaign in charge, but having won just two of their last 15 European away games (D5, L8), Feyenoord can ill afford to take anything for granted here. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the sixth H2H meeting in European competition between these sides, and itâs Feyenoord who have the current edge (W3, L2). Despite enjoying the edge in the H2H stakes, Feyenoord have lost four of their last five matches against Turkish sides, two of which came against Fenerbahçe.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Each of the last three competitive H2Hs produced exactly one first-half goal.[/p]
[p]Five of Fenerbahçeâs last six UCL games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Feyenoord have scored exactly twice in four of their last five competitive outings.[/p]
[p]Each of Feyenoordâs last seven UCL away fixtures saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Sofyan Amrabat netted Fenerbahçeâs goal in the first leg, meaning that he has now scored, assisted or been booked in each of his last five club appearances (G1, A1, YC3), while Feyenoordâs Sem Steijn has scored four times across his last three domestic encounters and will be hoping to replicate that form on the European stage. [/p]
[p]Fenerbahçe remain without long-term absentees Rodrigo BecĂŁo and Buluthan Bulut, while Feyenoordâs already-lengthy injury list does not appear to have grown following Saturdayâs league win.[/p]
[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]With Fenerbahçe having to score to progress and Feyenoord boasting a rich recent scoring run, backing both teams to score looks a solid bet.[/p]
