Fenerbahçe is undoubtedly the favorite in this matchup. The Canaries possess a significant advantage in player depth and are in excellent form, despite a recent setback in the derby against Galatasaray. Union has been struggling for a long time and is encountering issues even in the Belgian league. Given their current situation, expecting points in Istanbul seems unlikely.

We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Fenerbahçe. This bet is offered at odds of 2.19.
