Austria is a team that has had a difficult time in recent years and has not made it to the European competitions. Last season, they sensationally finished third in the Austrian league and now qualify for the Europa League. They aren't in the best mood for their first international clash, having made a poor start to the new season. The team has picked up just four points in four games in the local league, with three points being taken away due to a regulation error, so they are now in last place in the standings.

Fenerbahce is one of Turkey's most prestigious clubs, having won the local Super League on 19 occasions, most recently in 2013/14. Last season, the Canaries finished second, eight points behind the tournament winner. They started their European campaign with Champions League qualification but lost to Dynamo Kyiv. Then, they played their third-round qualifier for the Europa League, where they easily beat the Czech side Slovacko 1:1 and 3:0, with one step remaining to the tournament's group stage.

Austria and Fenerbahce approach the encounter in very different conditions. If for the Austrian club, this game will be the first international in a long time, and in the local championship, they are in last place in the standings. The Turks have already played a qualification round in the Champions League and the Europa League. Last weekend they beat Kacympasa in their championship (6:0). In the upcoming match, the Canaries' chances of success are much higher. Therefore, we suggest betting on a win for Fenerbahce at around 2.14.

Austria has had tremendous problems this season, but most of their matches are rich in goals. They have played five official meetings since the off-season, with a total of 20 shots on goal (4.00 per game average). It is unlikely that Fenerbahce will close down defensively either, so we suggest a total over 2.5 goals at odds close to 1.91.

Predicting the exact score of the upcoming encounter, we should look towards a 1:2 win for Fenerbahce. As we have already mentioned, the Turkish club is coming into the upcoming match as clear favorites, staying in a more optimal condition, while the Austrians have plenty of problems. Therefore, we suggest betting on Fenerbahce to win with a score of 2:1 for 9.50.
