Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Preview & Tips

Fenerbahce battled to a solid 2-2 draw against Slavia Prague in their third outing as they bounced back from a thumping 6-0 loss to Aston Villa in the game before.

Liverpool were not perfect against Villarreal in the last round, but they got the job done in an entertaining 4-3 win over their opponent.

Liverpool have won all three of their Champions League matches despite conceding in each

Head To Head

This will be the first time the pair have met in a competitive football match.

Fenerbahce Form

Fenerbahce needed a big performance against Slavia Prague in their third European outing after they were humiliated by Aston Villa in a crushing 6-0 loss at Villa Park.

While a standard defeat on the road in the Champions League is not embarrassing, the manner in which they crumbled against Villa will be a huge worry for the side. While Villa are a very good side, they are not at the summit of the European game by any means.

Their 2-2 draw with Slavia Prague followed on from a promising 1-1 draw with Roma in their opening home match. With two points secured from a possible nine, Fenerbahce sit in 31st in the league phase.

A win in this one would seriously enhance their hopes of notching a playoff spot, but they face an opponent that is yet to lose in Europe. While they have every chance of scoring against a side that is yet to keep a clean sheet in the competition this year, I do not back them to take anything from this one.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool began their Premier League season in indifferent form, but passive performances and dropping points has not been something they have suffered from in the Champions League.

Indeed, three wins over Atletico Madrid (2-1), LASK (6-3) and Villarreal (4-3) has seen the English side establish themselves as one of the entertainers in the competition this year. Positive is the 12 goals they have scored in three outings, but worrying is the seven they have conceded.

If the Reds can continually outscore the opposition, then failing to keep clean sheets is not an issue. However, there will likely come a day in which the goals do not flow as freely and defensive solidity will become vital.

Against Fenerbahce, I do not predict scoring goals will be too much of an issue. The Reds are my pick to take the points from this one, although I foresee a fourth match without a clean sheet in the offing.

Verdict

Fenerbahce v Liverpool

I am backing the Reds to beat Fenerbahce as they make it four consecutive wins without clean sheets.
