Fenerbahce vs FC Twente Prediction and Betting Tips | August 24, 2023

Fenerbahce and FC Twente square off at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round on Thursday (August 24).

Both sides head into the midweek clash firing on all cylinders, with the Turkish outfit winning their last seven games. Fenerbahce made it two wins from their first two games of the new Super Lig campaign as they edged out Samsunspor 2-0 on Monday.

Ismail Kartal’s men kicked off their new top-flight season with a nervy 2-1 win over 10-man Gaziantep at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on August 13. Fenerbahce now turn their attention to the Conference League qualifiers, where they blitzed past Zimbru Chisinau and Maribor to reach the playoff round.

Meanwhile, Twente made it two wins from their opening two games of the new Eredivisie campaign, edging out PEC Zwolle 3-1 on Sunday.

Interspersed between the two league wins, Joseph Oosting’s men beat Riga FC 3-0 in the second leg of the Conference League qualifying round to complete a 5-0 aggregate win over the Latvian outfit.

Twente have won four gaames across competitions and are unbeaten in 17 since a 1-0 loss to Utrecht on April 16.

Both teams are two of the most in-form sides in the qualifiers, so expect a thrilling contest. Kartal’s side boasts the firepower needed to get the job done and should grind out a narrow home win.
