Admira will face Fenerbahce at the Motion Invest Arena on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. The home side currently play in the second tier of Austrian football and have now appointed Thomas Silberberger as the new head coach as they target a return to the Bundesliga.
They kicked off their pre-season campaign last month with a goalless draw against Donaufeld before playing out a 2-2 draw against Austrian Bundesliga champions Sturm Graz in their second pre-season friendly last Saturday.
Fenerbahce, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on the Super Lig title last season, finishing second in the table behind rivals Galatasaray. They have now appointed Jose Mourinho as the new boss as they look to end their decade-long wait for a league title.
The veteran manager took charge of his first game at the club in a 2-1 victory over Romanian outfit Petrolul Ploiesti last weekend, with Edin Dzeko and Miha Zajc getting on the scoresheet in either half to help Sarı Kanaryalar overturn a one-goal deficit.
Following Saturday's game, Jose Mourinho's men will take on Croatian outfit Hajduk Split in another friendly outing before playing Strasbourg later in the month.
Admira vs Fenerbahce Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Saturday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between Admira and Fenerbahce.
- The visitors have had eight competitive meetings against Austrian opposition. They are undefeated in all eight matchups, picking up five wins and three draws.
- Fenerbahce were the highest-scoring side in the Super Lig last season with a goal tally of 99.
- Admira have managed just one clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.
Admira vs Fenerbahce Prediction
Admira are on a run of back-to-back draws and have won just two of their last eight games across all competitions. They are set to welcome one of Europe's elites to the Motion Invest Arena on Saturday and will be looking to give a good account of themselves.
Fenerbahce ended the previous season on a three-game winning streak and are undefeated across all competitions since April. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the visitors win this one fairly easily.
Prediction: Admira 0-3 Fenerbahce
