Fenerbahçe vs Slavia Praha — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.75: These two keep producing goals when they meet. The three previous meetings averaged more than 4 goals, and all three had 3 or more. Fenerbahce have been a different side in Istanbul. They have won 5, tied 2 and lost 1 at home, scoring more than 2 goals a game there. That run includes a 3-0 against Alanyaspor and an 8-0 against Eyupspor. Slavia Praha can score too. They score more than 2 goals a game, and 9 of their last 14 games have had 3 or more goals. The bigger point is what Slavia have lost at the back. Both first choice centre-backs are out, Ivan Ogbu with an Achilles problem and Stepan Chaloupek with a muscle injury. Tomas Chory is missing as well. Fenerbahce are short of defenders too, with Jayden Oosterwolde and Mert Muldur out. Neither side has a win in this competition yet, and that tends to open a game up after half time. A 2-1 to Fenerbahce is the most likely score. That is about the lowest we expect, and there is enough missing at both ends to push it higher. The honest warning is that Slavia are hard to score against on the road, letting in less than a goal a game. Only 8 of Fenerbahce's last 16 games have had 3 or more goals, and Slavia have scored once in their last three. We still want goals here, because neither back line looks able to keep this quiet.
