Fenerbahce take on the visitors Zimbru Chisinau Buducnost in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 26th at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium (Istanbul).
The Turkish team had a good warm-up at the official level. Dzeko and his company are naturally huge favorites in this matchup, and after the first match, they are expected to have a significant advantage. This will be the first official match for the Turkish team in this season, but they have already tested their strength in a friendly tournament that took place in St. Petersburg. The bookmakers are offering a purely symbolic coefficient for the hosts' victory in this game, as they understand that the opponents are not at all on the same level, and only some crazy blunder from the vastly experienced Fenerbahçe could lead to them not securing a convincing victory in this battle.

Let me put it this way. It was clear from the very beginning that the Moldovan team Zimbru are of a very modest level and probably has never played against opponents of Fenerbahçe's caliber. But one could have allowed for the possibility of some sensation or surprise from the Moldovans. However, after they played the first round of qualifiers, there are absolutely no hints that Zimbru could achieve anything here. They barely managed to pass the San Marino team La Fiorita, drawing 1-1 in the first leg and just barely winning 1-0 at home. Perhaps only the most courageous Zimbru fans can claim now that their favorites have any chances in the upcoming confrontation with the Turks. In reality, it looks like a complete rout for the Moldovan team...
The teams come from different football worlds, and there is absolutely no chance for the Moldovans here. Therefore, it's worth considering a bet on the home team's confident victory. My choice will be: Fenerbahçe -2 handicap. I believe that the hosts will win by at least two goals, and a score like 5-0 is quite possible.
Prediction for the match: Fenerbahce to win with -2.0 handicap.
