Fenerbahce vs Royale Union SG Prediction & Betting Tips (14 March)

Fenerbahce took a real option on qualifying for the quarter-finals by slapping the Belgians in the first leg 0-3. A victory which allowed us to move on to a positive result in the league straight away against the promoted Pendikspor 4-1. As a reminder, the yellow canaries are engaged in a mano a mano with Galatasaray in the title race and for the moment, they occupy second place with two lengths behind due in particular to a draw in mid-February against Alanyaspor 2- 2. Edin Dzeko and his teammates have conceded only one defeat in their last 21 matches in all competitions, against Ankaragucu in the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup 3-0. Opposite, although solid leader of the Jupiler League Belgian with 69 points, 6 lengths ahead of Anderlecht, Union Saint-Gilloise still has work to do to find a place on European soil since its heavy defeat in the first leg is far from trivial 0-3.

As a reminder, the Union had to go through a round of 16 finals to reach this stage of the competition and they got the better of the German team from Frankfurt 4-3 in the aggregate of the two matches by winning the rematch on the road 1-2. As previously announced, Saint-Gilloise is leader of the Belgian elite with 69 points in 29 days but failed to return to victory last weekend against La Gantoise 1-1. This is clearly not a good result since the Belgians had five successive victories in all competitions before their rout last week in C4 and the championship.

Loaned by Atlético Madrid this winter, Söyuncu started in the central hinge in the first leg but after half an hour of play, the former Leicester player had to leave his teammates (injured). He is not certain for this return match (absent immediately in the championship). Note the injuries to King (1 goal, 1 assist this season in the league) and the Brazilians, Peres (ex-OM) and Becao (very unimportant in the rotation) without forgetting the captain, Bonucci (glitch). Injured since the end of February, Kahveci (10 goals, 6 assists) returned to competition last weekend in the league, which is clearly good news for the Turkish team. Note that boys like Dzeko (18 goals in the league, top scorer) will be present but could give way to the former Marseille player, Michy (goal scorer, 8 goals in the league) who scored twice during the week last (C4 + championship).

Tadic (8 goals, 9 cakes in SuperLig), Under (ex-OM, 9 goals, 2 caviars) or even Szymanski (9 goals, 8 assists in the league) are all eligible to play this game. For the Union, already absent in the first leg, Leysen (unimportant), the holder Mac Allister (injured) and Kevin Rodriguez (3 goals, 2 assists in the championship) will probably be kept by the trainers this evening. For the rest, the group should be complete with in particular the strong men of the USG season such as Amoura (17 goals in the championship), Nilsson (11 goals, 4 offerings) or the German, Ayensa (7 pawns, 2 pancakes).
