UEFA Champions League
In 2008 was the last time Fenerbahce participated in the group stage of the Champions League. This is exactly where Jose Mourinho and company are now aiming. For this purpose, they overcame last year's participant Feyenoord. This happened after a 1:2 loss as a guest and a 5:2 victory at home in the second leg. In 2018, Fenerbahce was eliminated by Benfica on the way to the groups, when the two teams finished 1:1 in Istanbul.
Benfica is a much more regular participant in the group stage, and last season reached the round of 16. The team has been performing excellently since the beginning of the new season. They have played a total of four matches in all tournaments and have not conceded a single goal. They have also eliminated one opponent so far, French Nice, beating them twice by 2:0.
Prediction: both teams to scoreI think that in Istanbul Benfica will concede their first goal of the season. However, with their performance, the guests also seem capable of scoring, and I predict goals in both nets in this interesting duel.
