Europa League
In four of the last five matches with the participation of the "Canaries" rivals have scored against each other.
Fenerbahce
In European competition, Rapid started in the Champions League, but failed to overcome the first obstacle in the form of Sparta Prague. After beating the Czech vice-champion at home with a score 2:1, Dietmar Kuebauer’s team lost the advantage in the return leg, losing 0:2 in Prague. In the Europa League, the “green-whites” have already passed one rival. With a total score of 4:2 they passed the Cypriot “Anorthosis”.
HJK
The club from Helsinki has gained good momentum, although there is nothing surprising here, since the Finnish championship is in full swing, where Tony Koskela’s guys are in the lead. Last season, the club won gold medals and reached the Cup final, but lost on penalties to KuPS (0:1). HJK started the European competition with the Champions League, but lost 3:4 to Malmo in the quarterfinals of qualifying (3:4 in two matches). After an annoying departure, the White-Blues switched to the Europa League and now have the opportunity to compete for a place in the group. Let us remind you that the Finnish team confidently dealt with Neftchi, since after an away draw (2:2), they defeated their opponents on their home field with a score of 3:0. Roope Risky is the hero of the fight, as he scored a hat-trick. Now Fenerbahce is next in line, which is head and shoulders above its previous rivals.
Prediction
HJK has already felt for themselves what the level of the Champions League is and how difficult it is to play in the Europa League, but they showed character and were one step away from the group stage. To be honest, Tony Koskelo's charges were not very lucky with their opponents in the qualifying finals. Fenerbahce is ready to break and throw, especially after the unsuccessful ending of the previous championship. The team had more than enough time to prepare for the start of the season and European competitions. In our opinion, the "canaries" will not leave a chance to the rival and will confidently show who is the boss here. Our prediction is a handicap (-1.5) on Fenerbahce for a coefficient of 2.14 in BC 1xBet. It is unlikely that owners will feel sorry for their opponent and wait. Vitor Pereira's charges will take to the field to play the first number, so we expect serious pressure in their performance. On the other hand, guests are not ready to lose after so much work done, so they will try to fight back. In this case, the bet on the total looks more relevant. Second prediction is for a total over 2.5 goals in 1.86. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.14. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
