It’s all wide open ahead of the reverse fixture of the UEFA Europa League playoffs tie between HJK and Fenerbahce. Can the Finnish champions shock the Turkish heavyweights?
Fenerbahce managed a narrow 1-0 victory seven days ago in Istanbul as substitute Mumammed Gumuskaya made the difference scoring the only goal of the game just three minutes after he replaced Mesut Ozil on the pitch.
It was a generally a close affair without too many goal-scoring opportunities at either end. We, however, have to underline Fenerbahce’s marvelous defensive showing as they limited the rivals to zero shots on target on the occasion.
Fenerbahce also got off to a fine start to the new Super Lig campaign. They clinched a maximum of six points from the opening two games of the new season.
Vitor Pereira’s troops saw off both Adana Demirspor and Antalyaspor without conceding a single goal in the process.
The Portuguese manager can generally be thrilled with his men’s defensive efforts at this stage of the season as Fenerbahce are yet to concede a goal in official games this summer (three matches – three wins).

在欧联杯季候赛中，利物浦和费内巴切将进行反向比赛。芬兰冠军能让土耳其重量级选手大吃一惊吗?
7天前，在伊斯坦布尔的比赛中，费内巴切以1-0险胜对手，替补上场的古穆斯卡亚在顶替厄齐尔上场三分钟后攻入全场唯一一球。
这通常是一场势均力敌的比赛，双方都没有太多进球机会。然而，我们必须强调费内巴切不可思议的防守表现，他们将对手限制在了零射中。
费内巴切在新的超级联赛中也有一个良好的开始。在新赛季的前两场比赛中，他们最多得了6分。
维托·佩雷拉的军队在比赛中没有丢一球，同时击败了阿达纳·德米斯波尔和安塔利亚亚斯波尔。
葡萄牙主帅通常会为球队在本赛季这个阶段的防守表现感到兴奋，因为费内巴切在今年夏天的正式比赛中还没有失球(三场比赛，三场胜利)。
