i am curious to see how fenerbahçe will perform against benfica tonight, and i think it could affect their position in the super league.
according to the betting odds, benfica looks like the favorite, and they are expected to advance to the next round, but this is soccer, and anything can happen.
let's say fenerbahçe manages to draw or win in the first round. they will place a lot of importance on the second round, and as a result, they may not give the necessary attention to the super league match between the two benfica matches. this could lead to them ending up in a bad position in the super league.
I don't think that will happen because Mourinho made it very clear in his post-match statement that he was thinking about the Kocaelispor match, not the second Benfica match. I don't know if he used this to avoid the second Benfica match speculations, but they should be aware that they can't afford to make mistakes against a weak opponent like Kocaelispor, especially since they already lost points in their first league matches. Frankly, I don't think the Benfica match will have any impact on the league.
