Fenerbahce made it to third place last season and has thus been able to achieve the Europa League qualification. The gap to the front runner was only two lean counters. It was a hot dance in the fight for the championship. As third in the league table last season, Fenerbahce starts straight into the play-offs of the Europa League. With HJK Helsinki, it’s time to stand up to a supposedly lighter opponent.
Last year, Fenerbahce did not play internationally. The “Sari Kanaryalar” only reached the seventh place in the league table and thus missed the qualification for the Europa League. The biggest Europa League success so far has been reaching the semi-finals in the 2012-13 season, but the team had to admit defeat to Benfica Lisbon and retired. But will it be enough for the group phase this time?
The first match day was played in the Turkish Süper Lig. Fenerbahce defeated Adana 1-0. In the course of the preparation, three friendly matches were played. Only one could be won. The victory was won after a 3-1 victory over Giresunspor. In addition, the points should be divided with Dynamo Kiev and Zwolle after a 1:1 and 2:2 respectively. The preparation had therefore not been outstanding.

HJK claimed the domestic championship last year. The advance on the chasers amounted to seven points and was quite a comfortable cushion. As a Finnish champion, they had to compete in the first round of the Champions League qualification. In this it was said to be against the FK Buducnost from Montenegro. Both sets were won very confidently with 3:1 and 4:0. The second round brought the Swedish representative from Malmö with him. After a 1-2 draw in the first leg, a 2-2 draw in the second leg was not enough to solve the ticket for the third round. Due to the defeat, Helsinki slipped directly into the third round of the Europa League qualification. After a 2-2 victory in the first leg, Neftchi Baku was beaten 3-0 in the second leg. So there was nothing standing in the way of the playoffs. However, Fenerbahce is likely to be a difficult task.
Last year, HJK was not represented on the international stage. In the 2019-20 season, the Finns lost to Riga FC in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. Will things get better in the playoffs this time?
The Finnish league is already in full swing. 16 teams have already been contested. Thirteen victories were won. On the other hand, there are two draws and one defeat. With 41 points captured, coach Toni Koskela’s team is at the top of the table. The lead on the pursuer Kuopion PS measures nine meters and represents quite a comfortable cushion. The dress rehearsal last weekend was won 1-0 against Mariehamn.
