Turkish giants Fenerbahce will meet Portugal’s SL Benfica in a high-profile fixture in the UEFA Champions League 2025-26 playoff at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Wednesday, 20 August. Fenerbahce, playing the first leg in their home stadium, are aiming for an early advantage to secure a place in the Champions League group stage for the first time since 2008-09.
Fenerbahce have been in decent form in the Champions League qualifying rounds. The Yellow Canaries sealed a turnaround win against Feyenoord in the previous round. After a 2-1 defeat in the Netherlands, Fenerbahce fought back to win 5-2 in the home leg, securing a place in the playoffs.
Jose Mourinho’s side have had a muted start to the domestic league, being held to a goalless draw against a nine-man Goztepe side, managing just one shot on target. However, with just one loss in six home matches against Portuguese opponents, Fener will look for an early advantage in the tie.
Benfica have had a bright start to their domestic campaign, sealing the Portuguese Super Cup with a 1-0 win over Sporting CP. The Eagles followed it up with clean sheets in both legs of the qualifying match against Nice, and then sealed a tight 1-0 win over Estrela.
The Reds have a terrific record against Turkish opponents, remaining unbeaten in UEFA competitions. They have won their last three competitive ties against Fenerbahce, as well as a 3-2 friendly win in July.
