Will Fenerbahce advance to the next qualifying round?
José Mourinho is currently on course for the next round of Champions League qualifying with Fenerbahce Istanbul. The Portuguese won a turbulent match with his team at FC Lugano. Although FB scored four goals, they also conceded three in return.
Now the second leg awaits. In front of a home crowd, the Canaries from Istanbul are the clear favorites with the best bookmakers this time. For a Fenerbahce vs. Lugano bet on the hosts from Istanbul, the odds are only 1.29.
In the first leg, the Ticino side were still a match for their opponents and demanded everything from the supposed heavyweight from Istanbul. The result in no way reflected the course of the game. If Lugano can build on that, the Swiss Super League runners-up can also be expected to do well in Istanbul
FCL coach Mattia Croci-Torti’s side have already boosted their confidence in the current league competition and have started the season without dropping a point. Among other things, there has already been an away coup at the “Bebbi” from Basel to celebrate.

Fenerbahce – Statistics & current form
In his first competitive match as Fenerbahce’s new head coach, José Mourinho secured a narrow victory against FC Lugano. However, it was not a satisfactory performance for “The Special One”. Not only because his Swiss opponents took the lead in the first half, but also because they conceded an unnecessary goal in the closing stages.
With the 4:3 win on home soil, Fenerbahce Istanbul still have the best chance of reaching the next round of the current Champions League qualifiers. A draw in the second leg is enough to eliminate FC Lugano from the top flight. The home advantage comes in handy.
The yellow and navy blues have only lost one of their last 14 home matches on the international stage this season. In these 14 matches, Fenerbahce have a record of 12-1-1, and it is quite possible that they will extend this record against FC Lugano. Betting on this is definitely worthwhile – also due to the record against Swiss clubs
Will FB win again against a Swiss club?
The second leg against FC Lugano will be Fenerbahce’s eighth match against a club from the Swiss Super League. In the seven previous encounters, Fenerbahce have won four, drawn two and lost one. The latter was against Young Boys from Bern. Surprisingly, only one of these four wins came at home.
Nevertheless, it makes sense to place a bet on the home side in Fenerbahce v Lugano. The Canaries only need to improve defensively. José Mourinho’s team made a positive impression going forward in the first leg. Their attacking qualities were underlined with four goals.
Anyone expecting the yellow and navy blues to score again this time can also use the bookmaker Betano to bet on it. In addition to the option of betting on goalscorers in this match, bets can also be placed on the number of goals scored by Fenerbahce. José Mourinho has no serious personnel worries for Tuesday’s game.
Predicted Fenerbahce line-up:
Livakovic – Osayi-Samuel, Söyüncü, Djiku, Oosterwolde – Fred, Krunic, Szymanski – Tadic, Dzeko, Kahveci
Lugano – statistics & current form
FC Lugano have qualified for the Champions League for only the second time in the club’s history. As with their first appearance in 2001, the Ticino side are once again threatened with an early qualification exit. After the defeat in the first leg, the Black & Whites will need a minor miracle to realize their comeback in the cauldron of FB.
The only encouraging aspect is the fact that FC Lugano was a worthy opponent in the first leg. Although Mattia Croci-Torti’s team conceded four goals in the first leg, the Ticino side’s performance was certainly commendable. The Swiss Super League runners-up were particularly convincing in their attacking play.
If the momentum is carried forward, FC Lugano can also be expected to score on foreign soil. Before the second leg in Istanbul, the Black & Whites boosted their confidence once again with a win at FC Basel. FCL coach Croci-Torti largely dispensed with rotation against the “Bebbi.”
Is FC Lugano harmless on foreign soil?
The next away game awaits. FC Lugano have hardly impressed away from home in recent years. In the last nine away games on the international stage over the course of the season, there has only been one victory to celebrate. Incidentally, FCL celebrated that success at Besiktas Istanbul.

Two players from Ticino will miss the match in Istanbul through injury. In addition to Ilija Maslarov, Shkelqim Vladi is also currently unavailable. FC Lugano are not expected to make any major changes to their starting XI.
Predicted Lugano line-up:
Saipi – Zanotti, Papadopoulos, El Wafi, Valenzuela – Doumbia, Grgic – Botttani, Bislimi, Cimignani – Aliseda
Fenerbahce – Lugano head-to-head / H2H result
The two clubs met for the first time ever last week. Fenerbahce came from 1-0 down to win the match in Switzerland 4-3 against FC Lugano
Fenerbahce – Lugano betting tip
Fenerbahce remain difficult to assess after their recent performance against FC Lugano. Although there is the necessary quality in attack to score four goals against an opponent like FC Lugano, the defense was far too vulnerable. Fenerbahce even got away with conceding three goals.
They now have the chance to make amends at home. If FB’s recent home record on the international stage is anything to go by, the heavyweight from the Turkish Süper Lig should not have too much trouble against FC Lugano. Twelve of the last 14 home matches in the UEFA European Cup have been won
We place our Fenerbahce vs Lugano betting tip at odds of 1.77 on “HT/FT: 1/1”. We bet five out of ten possible units on this. Alternatively, betting on a high-scoring match is also recommended. Last week, the mark of seven goals was broken in the first leg
