Fenerbahce and Feyenoord will face off in the second leg of their Champions League third round qualifier at the Chobani Stadium in Istanbul on Tuesday evening.
This tie is still in the balance following a 2-1 win for Feyenoord in Rotterdam last midweek.
Fenerbahce looked to have earned a 1-1 draw with an 86th minute equaliser before an injury-time goal from Anis Hadj Moussa ensured that Feyenoord claimed a first leg lead.
Robin van Persie’s side have since got their Eredivisie campaign up and running with a win, posting a comfortable 2-0 victory over NAC Breda on Saturday.
As for Fenerbahce, they should be the refresher of the two teams ahead of this week’s second leg after being afforded the weekend off by the Turkish FA.
The winner of this tie will progress to the play-off round, with a two-legged showdown with either Benfica or Nice lying in wait.

New Feyenoord forward Sem Steijn opened up his account for the club during Saturday’s aforementioned 2-0 win over NAC. The 23-year-old Dutch forward looks overpriced to get on the scoresheet again here at 13/5 on Unibet.
