Fenerbahce vs Austria Wien Prediction: the Canaries to Take the Return Game

Prediction for the Europa League Fenerbahce vs Austria qualifier, which will take place on August 25. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Fenerbahce is one of the most prestigious and title-winning teams in Turkey, but they have been in decline in recent years. Only last season, the Yellow and Blues finally got the silver medals of the championship. The Canaries started the current European Cup campaign in the UCL qualifying, where they immediately lost to Dynamo Kyiv. After that, they went down in the qualifying for the Europa League. First, the Turks beat Slovacko, and in the first game of the playoffs defeated Austria 2:0. In the local league, Georges Jesus' side are leading the table, although they conceded a goal from Artem Dzyuba in the last match. 

Austria is a very modest team, even by the standards of Austrian soccer. Last season they unexpectedly took third place, which was a huge success, but it will be hard to count on the same thing again. In the debut of the current championship, the Violets immediately received a 3-point disqualification, and in the five rounds claimed only two victories. In the international arena, Manfred Schmid's charges started in the play-off round of the UEL qualification, suffering a 0:2 defeat at home to Fenerbahçe. So they have slight chances to qualify for the group stage.

Fenerbahce and Austria are very different at the moment. While the former is leading the Turkish league in terrific form, the latter has huge problems, sitting at the standings' bottom. The first encounter demonstrated such difference, as the Yellow and Blues snatched a resounding 2:0 away win. At home, they should win no less comfortably.

We see no intrigue in Fenerbahce vs Austria as the Turks took a solid lead in the first game, so they just need to avoid a blowout. For this reason, both teams' players can relax and play for their pleasure. Fortunately, the Canaries have been enjoying it lately. In their previous six meetings, there were 25 goals scored (4.17 goals on average), which is a very high rate.

The most likely outcome is 3:1. Fenerbahce at home is always dangerous, and especially in the European Cup matches, as opponents are not always able to withstand the thunderous support of their fans. For this reason, the Canaries can score a whole haul of goals being less cautios in defense. So Austria should use an opportunity to make a difference.
