Fenerbahce vs Olympiakos Preview

Fenerbahce are impressive in Turkey, and they deserved much more than a 3-2 loss from the first tie. With slightly better defending, I can see them not only beat Olympiakos but also qualify for the next round.

Fenerbahce Form

Fenerbahce were down by three goals last week in Piraeus until Dusan Tadic converted a penalty in the 68th minute. Irfan Kahveci has found the net as well six minutes after that and drastically increased Fener’s chances in this tie.

The Yellow Canaries quickly returned to winning ways last weekend in the Super Lig, claiming their seventh straight victory against Fatih Karagumruk. They were down 1-0 at half-time, Edin Dzeko and Michy Batshuayi finding the net in the second half.

Fenerbahce skipped the first round of the Conference League playoffs as they were the group winners and faced Union St Gilloise in the Round of 16.

The first match in Belgium went great for them, returning with a massive 3-0 advantage, Michy Batshuayi, Dusan Tadic and Jayden Oosterwolde finding the net. They did lose the second tie at home 1-0 but still advanced on aggregate.

Luan Peres, Mert Hakan Yandas, Cengiz Under, Joshua King and Jayden Oosterwolde are injured.

Olympiakos Form

Olympiakos had just 0.85 expected goals and 42% possession in the first tie, but still managed to find the net three times through Konstantinos Fortounis, Stevan Jovetic and Chiquinho.

The Red and Whites were dominant in both of their domestic appearances in early April, earning two convincing victories against Aris 3-0 and Lamia 5-1, Ayoub El Kaabi finding the net on both occasions.

As for their European campaign, Olympiakos eliminated Fenercvaros 2-0 on aggregate in the Round of 32, but then lost the first tie to Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-1 at home.

However, they pulled a miraculous comeback in the second leg, beating the Israeli side 6-1 in extra-time to secure a spot in the quarterfinals. Stevan Jovetic and Youssef El Arabi scored the crucial goals in the additional time.

Verdict

Fenerbahce v Olympiakos

Fenerbahce are having an impressive season so far, winning 27 of their 31 games in the Super Lig. They didn’t deserve to lose the first tie, so I will back them to beat inconsistent Olympiakos and qualify for semi-finals.
