In the first match in Lille, Fenerbahce held on in the first half thanks to Livakovic and had a good performance in the second half. Fenerbahce conceded an unfortunate goal in the dying minutes of the second half. While Lille went through the week without a game, Fenerbahce got a win in their first league game. I think it's better for Fenerbahce to play at the beginning of the season in order for the system to settle. Fenerbahce will take advantage of this.
Lille stands out especially with its disciplined defense and effective attacking line. However, I think that Fenerbahce will be able to use their home advantage to put pressure on their opponents. Fenerbahce are likely to put pressure on the Lille defense with their wing attacks. However, Lille's effectiveness in counterattacks should be taken into consideration. It is highly likely that both teams will score, so I expect both teams to score in this match.
I considered Fenerbahçe as the favorite in this match. However, Fenerbahçe did not see the expected performance from its players. The management at Fenerbahçe is trying hard to strengthen their squad.
Fenerbahçe management has given the team responsibility to an experienced coach like Luis Enrique. Since Luis Enrique is a very experienced coach, I expected the Fenerbahçe team to perform well against Lille. But Fenerbahçe was very unlucky in this match. Fenerbahçe conceded a goal just 12 minutes into the match due to a mistake by defender Jayden Oosterwolde. But had the players been confident, Fenerbahçe would probably have been able to draw the match.
I consider Fenerbahçe as the favorite in today's home match as well. However, if Fenerbahçe wants to qualify for the next round, they must win by 2 goals. A 2-0 or 3-1 win against lille will be very difficult for Fenerbahçe.
