Fenerbahce vs Zimbru Chisinau Prediction and Betting Tips | July 26th 2023

Fenerbahce kick off their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying campaign when they play host to Zimbru Chisinau in the first leg of their second-round clash on Wednesday.

The Moldovan outfit journey to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium unbeaten in their last four away matches and will look to continue in the same vein.

Fenerbahce wrapped up what was a disappointing Pari Premier Cup campaign last time out courtesy of a narrow 1-0 victory over Neftci Baku.

Having lost their opening two games, Ismail Kartal’s men finished in third place, five points off tournament winners Red Star Belgrade.

Fenerbahce will look to pick up from where they dropped off against Baku and begin their quest for European football on the front foot.

Meanwhile, Zimbru Chisinau scraped through the first round of the Conference League qualifiers as they claimed a 2-1 aggregate victory over La Fiorita.

Lilian Popescu’s men played out a 1-1 first-leg draw in San Marino on July 13, one week before picking up a 1-0 victory thanks to Denis Dedechko‘s strike at the Zimbru Stadium.

Zimbru have now gone unbeaten in six of their seven away matches this year, picking up three wins and three draws.
