ABC Tips

Fenerbahce have avoided defeat in each of their last eight matches, seeing 2+ goals in seven of these games and covering this goal line on their own in six of them.

They battled past Gornik over two legs last time out, recording an xG of 4.27 over the course of the tie. Sturm Graz were not really tested by Hearts in the last round, winning both ties comfortably - seeing 2+ goals in both games.

This will be a much tougher assignment for the away side against a Fenerbahce outfit who didn’t lose a single game at home domestically last season, seeing 59 goals across their 17 matches (3.47 per game).

Aarhus won the Danish title last season, beating the likes of Brondby, Nordsjaelland and Midtyjjland to the trophy - only losing three of their 32 league matches.

Aarhus won 10 of their 16 home games, netting 31 goals across these matches (1.93 per game), conceding fewer goals at home than any other side in the division (14 - 0.87 per game). 

Sabah are the Azebarjani champions and come into this game in decent form, having beaten KuPS over two legs to set up this tie.

I see this being a step too far for a side that is dominant domestically, but doesn’t quite have the experience on the European stage to trouble Aarhus on the road.
