Nordsjaelland vs Fenerbahce prediction: EUROPE: Europa Conference League – Group Stage betting tips on match 2023-11-29 20:00.
UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) Group H is one of the most exciting groups to keep an eye on heading into the final two rounds, as three teams are in with a chance of progressing. FC Nordsjælland will host Fenerbahçe in the penultimate round with just two points separating them in second and first place respectively, while they both have Ludogorets snapping at their heels for a spot in the coveted top-two.
Nordsjælland currently sit just one point above Ludogorets, whom they travel to on the final day in what will likely be a straight shootout for a spot in the knockout rounds, unless Ludogorets lose against Spartak Trnava and the Danish hosts beat Fenerbahçe here. That would see Nordsjælland progress past the group stages of a UEFA competition for the first time, and that dream could appropriately come true at the Right to Dream Park where Nordsjælland were the victors in five of their last seven European home matches (D1, L1).
Fenerbahçe know all about what it takes to advance from a UEFA competition group stage, having done so in eight of their last ten attempts. Their equation to do so again is contrastingly simple compared to their hosts, as a win here would book their spot in the next phase without the need for any potential final day drama. A draw would also be enough if Ludogorets do not defeat Trnava.
İsmail Kartal’s men possess the additional mental edge of having gotten the better of Nordsjælland already when running out 3-1 winners in the reverse fixture, maintaining their 100% record over Danish clubs (W3). The Yellow Canaries showed vulnerability in their 2-0 loss against Ludogorets in their last UECL match, although that was only their second defeat in their last 12 continental contests (W7, D3).
Players to watch: Marcus Ingvartsen could be key to Nordsjælland’s hopes here, since all six of his UECL goals this season have come at home. In the reverse fixture it was Miguel Crespo who got Fenerbahçe’s 3-1 win off to a bright start, extending his streak of never losing when scoring to 17 matches (W14, D3).
Hot stat: Only one of Fenerbahçe’s last 13 away matches in all competitions saw both teams score on the day.
