Fenerbahce vs Nice Prediction & Tips
Fenerbahce is hungry for titles. On Thursday (2 October), the top Turkish club will face Nice at home, with kick-off at 6.45 p.m. After a poor start to the Europa League, a reaction is needed. Fener lost 3-1 to Dinamo Zagreb in their opening game, with the three goals conceded causing particular consternation.
However, their upcoming opponents did not fare much better, as Nice started the competition with a 2-1 defeat to AS Roma. Accordingly, the pressure is high on both sides, and whoever loses again will have to admit to a false start. It has been a long time since the two clubs played each other. There have been five matches so far, with Nice winning three and Fenerbahce two. However, the last time they faced each other was in the UEFA Cup in 1973.
Historically, it is striking that there have only been home wins in this fixture. The French don’t have much experience playing against Turkish clubs, having only faced their current opponents so far. What Nice and Fener have in common is the frustration of being knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers. Benfica Lisbon proved too strong for both sides, which also led to the dismissal of coach Jose Mourinho on the Turkish side.
