🇹🇷 TürkiyeSezerli Stated That If Fenerbahçe Can Take 10 Points From That Four-match Stretch, They Could Largely Guarantee a Top-24 Finish.

D-Smart Spor commentator Semih Sezerli has assessed Fenerbahçe's UEFA Champions League fixture list, saying the points the yellow-navy club takes from matches against Slavia Prague, Liverpool, Shakhtar and LASK Linz will be of critical importance.
Right after the Beşiktaş derby, they will face Roma at home. Roma started the league on a high note. They beat Fiorentina 4-0. Malen put on a show with a hat-trick.
He played an incredible match. Playing the first match before Gasperini's team — which reached the opponent's box 41 times and won 59 duels — gets into form, especially at Kadıköy, is in my view a big advantage. After Roma, let's look at Fenerbahçe's fixture.
On October 14 they play Aston Villa away. On October 20 they host Slavia Prague. On November 4 they face Liverpool again at home.
That's good. On November 25 they go to Shakhtar away, but Shakhtar will play their match in London due to the war. That could also be an advantage.
On December 9 there's the LASK Linz away match, on January 20 Villarreal at home, and finally on October 27 Atletico Madrid away. Fenerbahçe will play Aston Villa away in the second match. Aston Villa are undoubtedly among the most athletic, best physically equipped teams in the Premier League.
Fenerbahçe must not forget the Unai Emery factor. Then the Slavia Prague match is strategically very critical, I think. It's a match that must definitely be won.
They are a tough, disciplined team, but in technical capacity and quality Fenerbahçe are far ahead. With home advantage, they must definitely win that match. Let me say that clearly.
If Liverpool continue like this, Fenerbahçe's chances rise with the Kadıköy advantage in early November. They are going through a transition pain with Iraola. Right now they are very disorganized.
They drew their first two Premier League matches. The team's key figure Gakpo's departure is on the agenda. Ekitike cannot yet continue due to the Achilles tendon rupture he suffered in April, and it's not possible for him to return to the pitch soon.
I think Fenerbahçe drew a favorable draw. Now I also see them having a favorable fixture. I can say that very clearly.
I'll make a critical point from here: the four matches between October 20 and December 9 are very decisive, very critical for Fenerbahçe. Because on October 20 there's a must-win match against Slavia Prague at home. On November 4, Liverpool again at Kadıköy.
You never know. Fenerbahçe could come out of that match with a win. Then on November 25 they go to Shakhtar away, but they won't exactly play in an away atmosphere.
It's a match where Fenerbahçe will have superiority. And then on December 9, being away is an advantage, no problem. They'll play LASK Linz. Fenerbahçe already faced LASK Linz in a friendly, their last friendly, and beat them 2-1. In short, Slavia Prague, Liverpool, Shakhtar and LASK Linz — Fenerbahçe can take 10 points from these consecutive matches.
