Game Preview
Fener was up against Samsungspor on the road twice, and they lost the edge each time, having to settle for a 2-2 tie in the end. This was the third meeting in the previous five in which they haven’t won, and we are free to say that Jose Mourinho’s start in Istanbul isn’t as planned. At least when talking about the domestic league.
On the other hand, they have four points in the Europa League. At first, Fener was better than Royale Union SG at home, 2-1, and then posted a tie in the Netherlands, where they played against Twente, 1-1.
United was down at halftime against Brentford, yet they came back to claim three points and a 2-1 triumph. This victory ended a five-game cold streak during which this unit couldn’t win.
We have to mention some terrible data for all the United fans. They have just one victory on the road this year, and the team has had six outings already.
Fenerbahce vs. Manchester United Head to Head
In six H2H matches, Fener won twice, while United has four triumphs. The most recent was in the 2016 Europa League when United beat Fener 4-1 at Trafford but then lost 2-1 in Istanbul.
Fenerbahce vs. Manchester United Prediction
With Mourinho leading the way, Fener won’t be so open and offensive-minded against United. Meanwhile, we expect to see the same approach from Ten Hag, who usually defends outside Trafford. That’s why we believe that moderate efficiency, meaning 2 or 3 goals, is the best pick here.
