Gornik Zabrze vs Fenerbahçe
📖 The Preview
Gornik are the slight favourites here on their own patch, and with Fenerbahçe holding a 1-0 lead from the first leg, the Polish side absolutely have to come out and push. That pressure suits a 1-0 home win perfectly — Gornik hunting a goal while Fener sit back and protect what they have. Both sides keeping things tight fits the low-scoring prediction, and Gornik's recent form gives them just enough to nick one. Fener stay competitive but ultimately can't quite hold on to a clean sheet.
