Game Prediction
The confrontation between Turkey and Greece is always hot and principled. Especially in football and especially when it comes to such iconic clubs as Fenerbahçe and Olympiacos. On Thursday, they will compete for the last ticket to the semi-finals of the Conference League in Istanbul. Which of them will succeed? The editors of the website have published an exclusive prediction for the match on April 18, 2024.
Fenerbahçe has now become the main “newsmaker” in Turkish football
“The Canaries”, as for a recognized giant, have been left without a championship title for a very long time. And, perhaps, realizing that Galatasaray was gradually starting to win the race again, “the Yellow and Blues” began some kind of hysteria, with threats that this season would be the last in the Turkish Süper Lig, and they would go to another championship in the summer – still, where can the club go… to Greece? Moreover, the Super Cup against “the Blood Gold” was turned into a démarche when the youth team started the game instead of the main one, conceded from Icardi within a minute and left the field. Nevertheless, the Turkish grandee takes it seriously in the Conference League. Kartal’s wards not only won the group, but also defeated Royal Union in the 1/8 finals in Belgium – 3-0. As for the battle in Piraeus, everything ended in a 2-3 result.
Olympiacos has not yet been able to return to the top
“The Legend” dominated Greek football in the last but one season. Still, there were many failures in 2022/2023 and the champion was finally limited to only 3rd place. Even now, “the Red and Whites”, although it’s too early to put an end to the fight for the title, are by no means in the lead. They did not impress at the international arena either. For instance, the Greek club was ahead of only inexperienced Backa-Topola in the Europa League group. It seemed that Maccabi Haifa would finish everything off in the Conference League, having defeated the hosts in Piraeus with a 4-1 score. Nevertheless, perhaps the Israelis relaxed, since Mendilibar’s wards won with the same result in regular time, and then brought it to a 6-1 victory in extra time. Speaking about the game in Istanbul, the team will try to squeeze out an advantage on the native field after an away win.
Previous head-to-head matches
Taking into account 2014-2015, “the Canaries” won friendly matches twice. Still, the representative of Greece, as soon as it came to the official ones, immediately turned out to be twice stronger in the Europa League of 2021.
