Europa League, Thursday, 03.10.2024 at 21:00
International business is calling – again! Jose Mourinho will have his work cut out getting his players fit and motivated for their respective clubs. How do I assess the situation in my Twente Fenerbahce tip, is the star coach on the verge of the next three-pointer?
His team got off to a successful start, but their Dutch opponents also managed to secure a point, and that against Manchester United. Our Europa League betting tips therefore feature two teams who have already built up their confidence.
Fener haven’t mastered this style yet, but it also depends on the opponent. The Twente Fenerbahce odds really only suggest that it will be damn close. The values? They settle at an average of 2.85 to 2.55, per guest.
In my Twente Fenerbahce betting tip, there will be a lot to analyze in any case, because somehow the three points could end up on either side. So will the famous little things decide?
The bookmakers’ prediction
Enschede or Istanbul? It was not easy for our bookmakers to agree on a favorite team here. And they didn’t really succeed, as the odds are dangerously close.
Fenerbahce are slightly ahead, with average odds of 2.50. As Twente are at 2.70, you could say that the difference is perhaps a little greater, as the home side are the underdogs.
Or perhaps bet on a draw, given that both teams were good for close affairs on the first matchday? The draw would reach standard odds of 3.50 on Thursday.
KI prediction Twente vs Fenerbahce: ChatGPT
ChatGPT has a lot to do these days! We betting fans are calling out the best AI predictions for a number of international games and have of course also done so for the Twente vs Fenerbahce match.
If you want to take a high risk, for example, you can bet on Fenerbahce to win by one goal. Not a bad option! I think the visitors are favored, but at the same time I believe in a tight game. So the odds of 4.50 could really pay off.
The medium risk is reached if we say: Fenerbahce will score the first goal of the match. Since I’m convinced by the Canaries’ attacking department, this tip would also get my okay in principle.
The AI’s idea of the lowest risk makes perfect sense to me: Over 2.5 goals! Fenerbahce could even manage that on their own, and since the defense is not always solid, the bet seems even more realistic to me.
Analysis: Twente vs Fenerbahce
Anyone who knows Jose Mourinho knows that the Portuguese doesn’t really fancy a competition if there is a more important one. Nevertheless, he missed out on the Premier League with Fenerbahce, so now the Europa League is calling.
It could also be the better place, because Fenerbahce, with all due respect, are not one of the very best teams in Europe. In this preliminary round, they face Royale Union, Twente, Manchester United, Alkmaar, Slavia Prague, Athletic Bilbao, Lyon and Midtjylland.
The first match was a home game against Royale Union, which brought the first three points. Boredom? Not at all, especially – and this is typical of the Canaries – in the closing stages.
In the 82nd minute, Fener increased the lead to 2:0 thanks to an own goal. Everything decided? No. First Bright Osayi-Samuel was sent off in the 90th minute, and then the Belgians were able to reduce the deficit.
Quotenanalyse
I see a relatively close affair between Twente and Fenerbahce coming up, so I can imagine that we won’t have any indication of who will be ahead at the break. A draw at half-time would have odds of 2.20 in the Betano app.
At the same time, I believe that the second half will be the one in which more goals are scored. The Turks in particular are known for late goals, so if you take the risk and say more will happen AFTER the change of ends, you will be rewarded with odds of 1.90.
Maybe you want to make a really big profit and need a result bet for this. In principle, I could well imagine a 1:2, also because the odds of 9.50 are both profitable and relatively low-risk.
Twente vs. Fenerbahce: Will the first goal decide?
At the end of the match, Fenerbahce took a deep breath. Everyone knew that our opponents were at least as good as us and actually better than us in attack. Reason enough not to fall into euphoria.
Even in the Champions League qualifiers, which ended in round 3 against Lille, both teams always scored. Things are not going badly in the Süper Lig either, although the team has allowed itself two slip-ups.
Not only did the 2-2 draw against newly promoted Göztepe (they were already 2-0 up) hurt, but the 3-1 defeat in the derby against Galatasaray was the negative highlight of the still young season so far.
Twente have already surprised Manchester United
16 goals have already been scored in the league, and the Canaries have impressed in attack in all competitions. Edin Dzeko in particular is already back in top form, with nine goals in twelve competitive games to his name.
However, Fenerbahce must now also deal with the fact that there are changes to be made in defense. Bright Osayi-Samuel is suspended and former Freiburg player Caglar Söyüncü will have to make sure he is fit again after his injury.
Incidentally, it’s only just over a year since Fenerbahce and Twente last met head-to-head. 5:1 and 1:0, with the Turks winning twice in Conference League qualifying.
I wouldn’t rate these results too highly either, because as they say from the Dutch point of view? New season, new luck! They started off with a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
No wonder Twente almost made it into the Champions League play-offs, losing 2-1 and 3-3 to RB Salzburg. How has the team started in the Eredivisie?
The only loss was a 2-1 defeat to Utrecht, with four wins and two draws completing the scoreline. So neither in the league nor in the CL qualifiers have they lost in their own stadium. Sounds like things could get very uncomfortable for Fenerbahce too.
Twente have a really strong midfield star in Sem Steijn, who has already scored seven times in ten competitive matches. Fener must have him on their radar, especially as the Canaries like to concede goals.
My Twente Fenerbahce tip:
Will Fenerbahce beat Twente? I think this duel is extremely interesting, because the Dutch will not have gotten a point against Manchester United by chance. So a match at eye level? Definitely in my eyes!
Fener have been convincing me offensively for more than a year now and you can usually rely on them scoring at least one brace. At the back, the team is still a little too unstable.
That’s exactly what Twente can exploit on Thursday, as they scored four goals against Red Bull Salzburg. I have therefore decided to bet on a real classic:
Both teams score here!
