Turkish giants Fenerbahce will hope to continue their European progress under Jose Mourinho as they travel to Lille. This is the first leg of the third qualifying round in the UEFA Champions League, and the prediction for this leg to be played at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy is for both teams to step up.
The winner of this tie will go on to play the winner of Slavia Prague vs Union Saint-Gilloise in the play-off round, while the losers will be transferred to the Europa League league phase. While that gives something to cheer for the losers as well, it won’t
Lille qualified for the Champions League by finishing fourth in Ligue 1 last season, as new coach Bruno Genesio looks to make the final moves towards qualifying for group stages. They have yet to play a competitive match this season, but they have played six friendlies. Of these, Lille have won three and drawn two, while losing just once to Wolfsburg. Having lost only one of their last 14 Ligue 1 matches played at this venue, Lille have some happy memories from last season.
Fenerbahce started their Jose Mourinho era with a 6-4 aggregate win over Lugano to qualify for this phase. Those results extended their impressive run to four wins, as the Turkish visitors look to make the most of their good form. With 15 goals scored over their last four matches, it seems Fener have found a new lever of scoring under Mourinho.
Both of these teams lost in the quarterfinals of the Conference League last season and will hope they can keep pushing their case for a group stage place in the Champions League.

Our Lille vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
This is Lille’s first competitive match of the season, while Fenerbahce have already had a taste of some Champions League action. Having scored six and conceded four goals in those two Champions League matches, Fenerbahce have kept things interesting. Manager Jose Mourinho has an impressive CV and would be keen to continue his march towards the group phase. That’s why our prediction for Lille v Fenerbahce is for both teams to score goals.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
