Zimbru vs Fenerbahce Prediction
Fenerbahce took a huge step towards the next round of the Conference League qualifiers following their five-goal lead in the tie. The Turks will be looking to complete the job in Moldova to proceed to the third round of the qualifiers.
Zimbru had a difficult enough job before a ball was kicked in the tie and their job has gotten exponentially more difficult. They need to score six unanswered goals to overturn the deficit and the chances of that happening are next to none.
There is a huge gulf in quality between the two sides, with Fenerbahce regulars on the European scene, while Zimbru have never made it to the group stage on the continent. We are backing the visitors to claim a routine win in addition to a clean sheet.
