Muriqi’s Fenerbahçe chase vital points vs Slavia Prague
Fenerbahçe sit with just one Champions League point after a 1-1 draw with Roma, needing a response against Slavia Praha.
Fenerbahçe host Slavia Praha this Tuesday at Şükrü Saracoglu Stadium with points on the line: the Turkish side have only one point after drawing 1-1 with Roma on matchday one, while the Czech team are still without a win and have yet to open their tally.
The momentum is poor on both sides. Slavia have suffered defeats to Lens (2-3) and Sabah (2-0), and they face an especially demanding run with fixtures against Arsenal, Villarreal, Bayern Munich, Porto and Aston Villa. Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, were punished last week by Aston Villa under Unai Emery, losing 6-0.
In the expected line-ups, Muriqi leads Fenerbahçe’s attack with Ederson in goal; Semedo, Skriniar, Ake and Brown in defence; Guendouzi and Kante; Greenwood, Kahveci and Aydin; with Chory set to start for Slavia. The clash looks crucial for both to stay in contention in the league phase, according to Mundo Deportivo.
