Turkish giants Fenerbahce will be squaring off against Monaco at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League qualifying first leg and the match should prove to be a very competitive encounter.
Fenerbahce Match Betting News
Fenerbahce missed out on the Turkish Super Lig title last season by a narrow margin and as a result, the Yellow Canaries will have to go through the qualification stages of the Champions League.
Vitor Pereira was unable to guide Fenerbahce into the Champions League last season and one can be sure that the Portuguese manager will be looking to make amends this term.
Doing so will not be easy though as Fenerbahce have been handed a clash against French Ligue 1 outfit Monaco in the third round qualifiers and the Turkish giants need to perform exceedingly well in order to progress into the next stage.
Fenerbahce have purchased the likes of Martin Skrtel and Gregory van der Weil this summer and the high profile duo could well be starting on Wednesday night.
Monaco Match Betting News
Monaco enjoyed a fruitful campaign last term and only missed direct qualification into the Champions League due to an inferior goal difference.
The Les Rouges et Blancs certainly seem to be intent on earning a place in Europe’s elite club competition and have spent heavily in improving the squad by signing the likes of Benjamin Mendy, Kamil Gilk and Djibril Sidibe among others this summer.
Despite the influx of high profile players, Monaco will surely have to work very hard in order to make it past the third round qualifiers as they have been handed an intimidating clash against Fenerbahce.
Fenerbahce vs Monaco Match Prediction
Both teams possess a number of high profile players in their respective sides and the match on Wednesday night is expected to be a high quality encounter.
Fenerbahce usually head into matches at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium as favourites and with the partisan crowd backing their beloved team, a narrow home win could well be on the cards during the first leg.
