Fenerbahce will be bidding to book their spot in the third qualifying round of the 2024-25 Champions League when they host Lugano on Tuesday night. Jose Mourinho's side will bring a narrow advantage into the second leg of the second qualifying round fixture, having recorded a 4-3 victory in the first leg in Switzerland.

Mourinho got his reign as Fenerbahce head coach off to a winning start in the first leg last week, but it was far from a comfortable match, with Lugano making a real fight of it. Edin Dzeko scored three times for the Turkish giants, who led 4-2 heading into the final exchanges, but a 94th-minute goal for Lugano means that the tie is delicately poised heading into the return fixture.

Fenerbahce will not open their Turkish league campaign against Goztepe until August 17, with their full focus currently on the Champions League, and they are one game away from the third qualifying round. The Yellow Canaries picked up an incredible 99 points from 38 league matches last season, but they still did not win the title, finishing three points behind the champions Galatasaray.

Fenerbahce featured in the Conference League last season and progressed to the quarter-final stage, losing on penalties to Olympiacos, and they have not operated in the group stage of the Champions League since the 2008-09 campaign.

Lugano, meanwhile, also played in the Conference League last term, but they failed to make it through the group stage, finishing fourth in Group D. The Black and Whites have never played in the group stage of the Champions League, so they are chasing history this season, but they did operate in the group stage of the 2019-20 Europa League.

Mattia Croci-Torti's side have already started their Swiss Super League campaign, and it has been a strong start, winning their opening two games against Grasshoppers and Basel to sit third in the table. Lugano are three-time Swiss Super League champions, but they have not won the title since 1949. The team claimed second last season for the first time since 2001, though, 12 points behind the champions Young Boys, and they will again be expecting to finish high up the division this term.

Fenerbahce are sweating over the fitness of Caglar Soyuncu, who has a thigh problem, while Ryan Kent is expected to miss out with a knee issue. As a result, head coach Mourinho could be forced to make two changes from the first leg, with Irfan Kahveci and Mert Muldur likely to be introduced into the XI for this contest. Dzeko scored three times in the first leg, and the experienced striker will continue in the final third of the field.

As for Lugano, Shkelqim Vladi, Ilija Maslarov and Lars Mai missed the first leg due to fitness problems, and the trio are expected to again be absent on Tuesday night. Head coach Croci-Torti will have been pleased with many aspects of his side's performance in the first leg, and it would therefore not be a surprise to see the same XI take to the field here. As a result, there should be a spot at centre-forward for Argentine Ignacio Aliseda, who did not register in the first leg but is already off the mark for the new campaign.

The first leg was a thriller, and Lugano kept themselves in the tie by scoring a third deep into stoppage time. Fenerbahce remain the big favourites, though, and we are expecting the Turkish giants to secure their spot in the next round without any major dramas.

费内巴切将在周二晚上主场迎战卢加诺，争夺2024-25赛季欧冠资格赛第三轮的席位。穆里尼奥的球队将带着微弱的优势进入预选赛第二回合，他们在瑞士的首回合比赛中以4-3取胜。

穆里尼奥作为费内巴切的主教练在上周的首回合比赛中取得了胜利，但这并不是一场轻松的比赛，卢加诺在比赛中表现得很出色。哲科(Edin Dzeko)为这支土耳其豪门梅开二度，以4-2领先进入决赛，但卢加诺(Lugano)在第94分钟的进球意味着，双方的战局在第二轮比赛中处于微妙的平衡状态。

费内巴切要到8月17日才会与戈兹特佩展开土耳其联赛的首场比赛，目前他们的全部精力都放在了欧冠上，他们距离第三轮资格赛还有一场比赛。黄金丝雀上赛季在38场联赛中获得了令人难以置信的99分，但他们仍然没有赢得冠军，落后冠军加拉塔萨雷3分。

费内巴切上赛季打进了欧冠联赛，但在点球大战中输给了奥林匹亚科斯，进入了1 / 4决赛。自2008-09赛季以来，他们就再也没有参加过欧冠小组赛。

与此同时，卢加诺上赛季也参加了欧洲联盟联赛，但未能通过小组赛，仅在d组排名第四。黑白军团从未参加过欧冠小组赛，因此本赛季他们正在追逐历史，但他们确实参加了2019-20赛季的欧联杯小组赛。

克罗奇-托蒂的球队已经开始了他们的瑞士超级联赛，这是一个强劲的开局，他们在对阵蚱蜢和巴塞尔的两场比赛中都取得了胜利，排名第三。卢加诺曾三次获得瑞士超级联赛冠军，但他们自1949年以来从未获得过冠军。上赛季，球队自2001年以来首次获得第二名，尽管落后冠军年轻男孩队12分，他们将再次期望在本赛季以高水平结束联赛。

费内巴切正在为索永库的伤情而伤脑筋，他的大腿有问题，而肯特也有可能因膝伤缺席比赛。因此，主教练穆里尼奥可能会被迫在首回合比赛中做出两项调整，卡维奇和穆德可能会被引入这场比赛的11人名单中。哲科在首回合中梅开二度，这位经验丰富的前锋将继续在场上的最后三分之一。

至于卢加诺，弗拉迪、马斯拉罗夫和迈因健康问题错过了首回合比赛，这三人预计将在周二晚上再次缺席。主教练克罗奇-托蒂会对他的球队在首回合的许多方面的表现感到满意，因此在这里看到同样的11人上场并不令人惊讶。因此，阿根廷人伊格纳西奥·阿利塞达应该有一个中锋的位置，他在第一回合没有上场，但已经不在新赛季的状态。

第一回合是一场惊险的比赛，卢加诺在补时阶段攻入第三球，将比分保持在平局。费内巴切仍然是最受欢迎的球队，我们希望这支土耳其豪门能够在没有任何戏剧性事件的情况下确保下一轮的席位。
