Gornik Zabrze vs Fenerbahçe
📖 The Preview
Gornik Zabrze are going into this one with their backs against the wall, trailing from the first leg, and that desperation at home in a Champions League knockout tie is a powerful thing. The model gives them a 51% chance of winning, and with BTTS and over 2.5 goals both predicted as no, this looks like a tense, low-block battle where Gornik nick the one goal they need. Fenerbahçe only need to avoid a two-goal defeat, which makes them cautious guests — and that suits a tight 1-0 home win just fine.
