Helsinki v Fenerbahce Tip & Odds, 26.08.2021 – 18:00 CET
Fenerbahce has only one goal in mind: qualification for international business. After two years of abstinence, the ticket for the Europa League group phase is now to be solved. In order to achieve this goal, the Finnish representative HJK Helsinki will have to compete in the second leg. The first leg was won by the Turks with a narrow 1-0 victory in front of their home team.
The Finns will have the chance to eliminate this bankruptcy in the Bolt Arena on Thursday, August 26th from 6:00 pm. The extent to which this will succeed and how the odds will be structured must be evaluated in the following betting tip forecast.

Since the second leg is played by the Finns, the Turks enjoyed the right to play at home in the first leg. Even before the kick-off, this match was subject to a clear distribution of roles. All odds pointed to the hosts and thus a home win. The home team had field advantages but the guests defended cleverly and allowed little. As a result, there was no goal in the half-time break. Even after the page change, a similar picture emerged.
This time, however, something countable should jump out. After 65 minutes, Muhammed Gümuskaya secured a 1-0 lead. For their part, the guests tried to come back into the game, but found hardly any means. As Fenerbahce failed to catch up, it remained a close 1-0 victory.
HJK won the championship last season and was even allowed to compete as reigning champion in the first qualifying round of the premier class. Two sovereign victories (3:1, 4:0) stood out against FK Buducnost from Montenegro. Things looked different in the second round against Malmö. The first leg was lost 1:2 and the second leg ended 2:2. Thus Helsinki had to finish in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. This was successfully contested against Neftchi Baku (2:2, 3:0). The 0-1 in the first leg of the Play Offs against Fenerbahce leaves us with hope for the group stage in the second leg.
The Finns do not really look at the great wealth of experience on the international stage. Last season, the team was not represented in either the Euro or the Champions League. The 2019-20 season saw a failure in the third qualifying round of the Europa League against Riga FC.
The Finnish league is already in full swing. So far, Helsinki has been very strong and stands alone at the top of the table. On the final day of the season, HJK was also successful, beating Lahti FC 1-0. The gap on the second Kuopion PS is a whopping nine points. However, the chasers have played one less game so far.

Last season saw an exciting three-way battle for the Turkish championship. In the end, the “Sari Kanaryalar” was left behind Besiktas and Galatasaray and had to take third place. However, the gap to Besikta was only two lean points. Third place in the league led to a direct move to the play-offs for the Euroleague. With HJK, a supposedly lighter opponent is on the agenda. In the first leg, the Turks struggled to get a narrow 1-0 lead.
The “canaries” missed the qualification for the international business the year before. Whether it will turn out better this time will become clear. A first step was taken with a 1-0 lead in the first leg.
Fenerbahce has played two matches in the Süper Lig so far. Both led to a threesome. On the first matchday Adana was defeated 1-0 in the distance. The second game brought a 2-0 victory against Antalyaspor. The dress rehearsal on the last matchday was mastered with flying colors.

In the first leg, the Turks were the big favourites and only narrowly prevailed with 1-0 in the end. The second leg is now played by the Finns. I’m sure they’ll do everything they can to equalize the bankruptcy of the first leg. In the course of the Europa League qualification, HJK has only played one home game so far. This was won by Neftchi Baku 3-0. However, we do not assume a similar result in our betting tip forecast. A defensive duel is to be expected. For this reason, it is advisable to bet on the market “less than 2.5 goals”.
