Fenerbahçe's defense must be flawless in this match, otherwise they might not fare so well against Benfica. Benfica is also a very strong team in the Portuguese league, and we all remember what they did in last year's Champions League. They also have very effective attacking players. Knowing this, they can wait for Fenerbahçe to tire out and adapt their tactics accordingly. The crowd will be a huge advantage for them. They have one of the best crowds in Europe. This will be a very difficult match for Fenerbahçe.
Teams coached by Mourinho have always been known for very strong defense, but for some reason that’s not the case at Fenerbahce. Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t have defenders here who could ensure such a solid defense, or maybe he wants to make Fenerbahce a more attacking team, even if their defense becomes less reliable. I think it will be very difficult to keep a clean sheet away against Benfica. Therefore, besides having a good defense, they will definitely need to score, a very tough situation for Fenerbahce.
