Fenerbahçe SK - SL Benfica 25/04/2013 20:00 BST
Both teams of Fenerbahce and Benfica demonstrate serious ambitions for the finals of Europa League and certainly both staff have the necessary skills to achieve this goal. Benfica and Fenerbahçe face against each other for the first time since season 1975/1976 when the Portuguese won a heavy victory 7-0.
Fenerbahce made a first loss of 11 games in the last round of the Turkish Super League but probably all the players were already thinking about the semifinal clash with Benfica. The dedicated crowd will have a major impact at this match, in view of the fact that Fenerbahce reaches this stage of the European tournament for the first time. The coach of the hosts will not be able to rely on suspended Caner Erkin, who scored the goal for the 1-1 draw with Lazio in the quarterfinal match of the Europa League.
It is hard to choose the favorite for this match but considering the fact that Benfica are still unbeaten in the domestic league and gave a really impressive season on all fronts, the Portuguese team may be the more likely finalist in the Europa League. For the guests the basic problems are associated with Enzo Perez and André Almeida who are both suspended for this match. Fenerbahce and Benfica are unbeaten in their last 6 games in the Europa League and will undoubtedly present a great game.
