Turkish side Fenerbache produced a rousing second-half performance in Istanbul
Turkish side Fenerbache produced a rousing second-half performance in Istanbul, to over-turn a 1-0 half-time deficit, and end the Champions League first leg quarter-final as 2-1 winners.
The fact that Fenerbahce got a 2-1 lead in the first leg was a shock in itself so there’s nothing stopping them from repeating this by getting a draw in England.
The odds on offer are favourable enough to make it worth a small punt betting against the west Londoners. Colin Kazim Richards – who scored the equaliser as a substitute - could end up as one of the most unlikely semi-finalist.
The 21 year old from Leytonstone was surplus to requirements at Sheff Utd, relegated from the Premiership last season, and only a few years ago was playing in the English lower leagues with Bury.
Fenerbahce certainly cannot match Chelsea’s star quality, but they have shown the kind of character often lacking in Turkish and Greek side in Europe, fighting through a penalty shoot-out against Sevilla, and will fight hard to protect their lead at Stamford Bridge.
The overwhelming strength of Chelsea’s home record is common knowledge, and with their away goal, the Blues need only a 1-0 win, which should be within their compass. Didier Drogba is back on form and rested from the Blues 2-0 weekend win over Man City.
