13/08/2024 8:00 pm
Leading by one goal from last week’s first leg, Lille OSC visit the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium to face Fenerbahce on Tuesday, as they conclude their Champions League qualifying tie.
Aiming to reach the group stage in their first Champions League campaign under Jose Mourinho, Fenerbahce are under pressure to produce a comeback after losing last week’s first leg 2-1 in Valenciennes.
Fenerbahce’s three other competitive matches this season have all ended in victory, beating Swiss side Lugano 6-4 on aggregate in the Champions League’s second qualifying round and then winning the Super Lig opener at the weekend.
Overcoming the disappointment of losing in France, the Yellow Canaries overcame Adana Demirspor through a first-half goal from veteran striker Edin Dzeko, laid on by new boy Allan Saint-Maximin at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
Lile Lille, Fenerbahce lost in last season’s Conference League quarter-finals, but they are intent on securing a seat at Europe’s top table this time around.
After conceding a 79th-minute equaliser in a close-fought first leg, Edon Zhegrova’s late winner could prove invaluable to Lille’s hopes of progressing into the final round of Champions League qualifying.
After leading Lille to fourth position in Ligue 1 last season, former manager Paulo Fonseca departed for AC Milan, and new head coach Bruno Genesio is now overseeing their latest attempt to reach the Champions League.
It has been three years since Lille made it through to the group stage, and this year’s expanded format would ensure at least eight high-profile games through to January.
However, Tuesday’s second leg and a potential playoff must still be negotiated, either side of Saturday’s league opener away to Reims.
