Fenerbahçe v Liverpool Prediction: Positive Reds can land 7/5 Turkish success

Liverpool go into Game Week Four of the UEFA Champions League as one of just five teams with a 100 per cent record.

Andoni Iraola's men head to Turkey on Wednesday to face Fenerbahçe at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium for the very first time.

The hosts are still seeking their first win in this season's UEFA Champions League and go into this clash off the back of two domestic defeats.

To add an extra twist to Wednesday's league-phase clash, Fenerbahçe recently appointed former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt as their interim boss.

Fenerbahçe v Liverpool

Fenerbahçe v Liverpool Prediction

Best Bet: Liverpool to win & both teams to score @ 7/5

Liverpool's form might be patchy in the Premier League, but they have been perfect so far in Europe with three wins from three.

Not only is it nine points from nine, but there have also been goals galore so far for the Reds, with only Paris Saint-Germain scoring more so far.

There have been 12 goals scored by Liverpool in wins over Atlético de Madrid, LASK and Villarreal CF, but the Merseysiders have also conceded seven times.

That goals-against record - the worst inside the top 18 of the UEFA Champions League standings - offers some hope to a home side struggling for confidence.

The hosts have collected just two points from their opening three matches, which includes a 6-0 defeat to Liverpool's Premier League rivals Aston Villa.

Recent results in their domestic league have not been much better, with back-to-back 2-1 defeats to Galatasaray and Goztepe leading to Kuyt's short-term appointment.

It is worth noting that only one team has scored more goals than Fenerbahçe in the Super Lig this term, with 24 bagged in 12 games.

The home squad includes a host of former Premier League players, most notably goalkeeper Ederson, defender Nathan Ake, midfielders Matteo Guendouzi and N'Golo Kante and striker Romelu Lukaku.

Alternative Bet: Florian Wirtz to score or assist @ 10/11

The performances of Florian Wirtz have been under scrutiny this season, but his displays in Europe have arguably been a step up from those on the domestic front.

The Germany international got his name on the scoresheet in the comeback win over Villarreal and also claimed an assist in the victory over LASK.

Wirtz, who struck the bar with a free kick in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, is likely to be asked to pull the strings going forward in Istanbul.

Nobody in the Reds squad has had more shots in their first three UEFA Champions League games, with Wirtz racking up 10 attempts in Europe to date, with four of those on target.

  • Over 2 goals

  • Kerem Akturkoglu 1+ shots on target

  • Ismail Yuksek to be booked

    Pays 11/2

There have been over two goals in each of Fenerbahçe's last seven games, with the Yellow-Navy Blues scoring seven times across the last four matches.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have netted in all of their five away fixtures this season and have found the net 12 times across their three European outings.

One man the Reds will need to keep tabs on is the Fenerbahçe winger Kerem Akturkoglu, who has scored 16 goals in 59 appearances in all competitions since joining from Benfica.

The Turkey international scored six times in the Europa League last season and, although he's seeking his first UEFA Champions League goal, he has had four attempts across the first three games.

Only two clubs have collected more yellow cards in this UEFA Champions League campaign than Fenerbahçe, who have received nine cautions.

Two of those yellows have been picked up by midfielder Ismail Yuksek, who has committed four fouls in the first three matches.
