Another day, another gripe about conspiracies as Jose Mourinho lashed out once again after the Rangers and Fenerbahce game. This time, the 62-year-old's frustration was towards VAR missing three penalties as his team, Fenerbahce, crashed out of the Europa League last 16.
The Yellow Canaries had to revert a 3-1 deficit from the first leg and to everyone's surprise they did so under the floodlights of Ibrox Stadium as they secured a 2-0 win. However, all did not go as planned in the penalty shootout as they lost 3-2.
Jose Mourinho's troops now turn their attention to the Turkish Super Lig where there has been less drama. In their last match, they had no trouble dispatching Antalyaspor in a comfortable 3-0 home win. That result extended their unbeaten run to 11 matches (W9, D2).

Samsunspor snapped their two-match winless run in the league when they beat Adana Demirspor 3-2 at home. Soner Aydogdu scored a brace, while Emre Kilinc delivered the final blow in the 62nd minute.
Thomas Reis' troops will come into this match seeking to make it two wins on the bounce in the league. The last time they played Fenerbahce, that meeting ended in a 2-2. There's hope they can aim for a similar outcome if not a win.
Away from home, they have been in poor form. They have won just two of their last eight matches while recording three draws and three losses.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
Fenerbahce has been near impenetrable at home in the past weeks winning nine consecutive matches. I see them avoiding defeat here as they've been the better side on paper this season.
However, Samsunspor will want to capitalize on their fresh legs to cause an upset. I'm expecting the visitors to get on the scoreboard considering their opponents have conceded a goal in six of their last seven home matches.
This matchup promises to be an entertaining affair and I believe we can easily see the total goal line going over.
Our main prediction for the match: Total - Over 2.5 for 1.76 with 1xbet.
2nd prediction: Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.90 with Bet365.
3rd prediction: Anytime Goalscorer - Soner Aydogdu for 7.20 with Betway.
