Gornik Zabrze v Fenerbahce Prediction: 11/8 Fener to seal the deal

Fenerbahce will look to move one step closer to the League Phase of the UEFA Champions League when they take on Gornik Zabrze on Wednesday night.

The Turkish giants have a 1-0 advantage to defend from the first leg after Talisca's 37th-minute strike in Turkey last week.

Ismail Kartal's team should have secured a more dominant advantage after outclassing their Polish opponents and they will look to set the record straight at Arena Zabrze in the UEFA Champions League.

Gornik Zabrze v Fenerbahce

Gornik Zabrze v Fenerbahce Prediction

Best Bet: Fenerbahce to win to nil @ 11/8

A trip to Poland is not the easiest assignment for most teams, but Fenerbahce are more than used to playing in hostile environments.

The Yellow Canaries finished second in the Turkish Super Lig last season, and they will look to lay down a marker for the rest of the competition with a commanding performance on the road.

Kartal's side finished the first leg with an xG of 1.61, compared to that of 0.06 of Gornik.

The Polish outfit were away from home, but they only managed to register two shots in the entire game. Michal Gasparik's team only secured 21 per cent possession and they conceded 15 shots in the first leg.

Fener have kept three clean sheets in four games, including friendlies, and they should be able to prove they are better in all departments than their hosts on Wednesday.

Alternative Bet: Fenerbahce -1 handicap @ 5/4

The stats from the first leg suggest the 1-0 scoreline flattered Gornik and Fener should be able to pick them off on the counter-attack in this upcoming tie.

In front of their own fans, the Polish side will need to try and push for an equalising goal and that should mean they are exposed at the back.

Fenerbahce have won their last three away games and scored two goals in each tie and they have the quality needed in the final third to rack up the goals against Gornik Zabrze.

After dominating the first meeting between these two sides, Fenerbahce will look to dominate from the outset against Gornik.

Fener had eight shots in the first half compared to Gornik's two and that level of dominance should help them win both halves on Wednesday.

The Turkish side dominated the corner count 9-2 and should have no issues repeating that.

With another one-sided battle expected, Fenerbahce should be able to score at least three goals, which they have done in four of their last eight matches on the road in all competitions.
