Team Total Goals Prediction: Fenerbahce Over 2.5 Goals
Fenerbahce suffered a shocking defeat with 6-1 in the previous round in the ECL and have to bounce back with a similar scoreline if they want to continue past this round. The team is incredible at home and they typically score 3+ goals per game. In 13 home matches in all competitions, Fenerbahce scored at least three goals in 10 fixtures. This is how dominant they are. Spartak Trnava are not a bad team but they are clearly not good enough to be in this group.
Team To Score In Both Halves: Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce will try to destroy Spartak with as many goals as possible and we believe that we should see one or two in the first half. There are several options to pick in this match. We have picked the Fenerbahce to score in both halves for ourselves because we expect at least three goals in this fixture. However, you can also pick the win at half time or the HT/FT option for Fenerbahce. All these markets should be successful in this fixture.
Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Fenerbahce
Spartak Trnava have not been that bad in attack overall and we believe that they will score a goal here. Fenerbahce are unbelievable in attack but they tend to concede in most matches. Other than that, we expect a dominant win for the home side. They have 12 wins in 13 home games this season and we already explained the huge number of goals they have scored in their stadium. When we compare the Fenerbahce vs Spartak Trnava line ups, we think that the home side has a massive advantage in strength.
The distance between Trnava and Istanbul is not that long, so it is an opportunity to visit one of the best stadiums in Europe. Fans will have to cross 900 kilometers in both directions to get to the stadium. Your safest option is to fly from Vienna, which is 50 kilometers away from Trnava and the current prices are around €200 for direct flights in both directions.
