AEK vs Fenerbahce Prediction: Bet on the Turks' second win over the Cypriots

A rather interesting match will occur in Cyprus's Greek part, where AEK face Turkey's Fenerbahce. The countries have a complicated relationship that will also translate to the football field. It should be noted that the first leg between the teams ended in a 2-0 win for the Turks over the Cypriots.

After three rounds played in the Europa League group stage, AEK are in third place in Group B with three points, four points behind the leaders Fenerbahce and Rennes. If a home defeat and a win for Rennes in the second leg, AEK would lose their playoff chances. The only victory of AEK was over Dynamo, and the Cypriots lost to the French and the Turks. After six rounds, AEK are placed fourth in the national championship, four points behind Paphos and Apollo.

Fenerbahce are also fourth in the national league. And in Europa League, the Istanbul side is in top form - seven points after three rounds, the best goal difference in the group, and, consequently, first place. Fenerbahce have a draw with Rennes, and the Canaries have beaten the Cypriots and Ukrainians. In the case of an away win, the Turks will be guaranteed a place in the playoffs of the second most important European competition.

• Fenerbahce have won in the first half and the game in five of their last seven Europa League games;
• Fenerbahce have scored at least two goals per game in their last five Europa League matches;
• Fenerbahce are unbeaten in their last eight Europa League games.

The statistics for the first match between our teams in Turkey are 60/40 ball possession, 16/5 shots, 8/1 shots on goal, and 4/2 corner kicks. The advantage is too great, the difference in class is evident, and the field factor is unlikely to pay off. Especially as Fenerbahce are geared up for Europa League, let's not forget about the moral nature of the encounter. We think that after the Cyprus game, the Canaries will improve their already good position in the Europa League. We have the following odds for this match:

• W2 for 1.80;
• W2 to nil for 2.94;
• Correct score 0-2 for 8.00.
