Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho will return to his native Portugal on Saturday for a pre-season friendly against Benfica in Lisbon. The Turkish club enters the match with a perfect pre-season record but is considered the underdog against the Portuguese side.
Mourinho is preparing his squad for a renewed title challenge in the Turkish top flight after finishing as runners-up last season. So far, he has overseen three consecutive pre-season victories, with Fenerbahce defeating Portimonense 2-1, UD Leiria 2-0, and Al-Ittihad 4-0.
Despite this strong form, bookmakers have positioned Benfica as the 7/10 favorites to win the match. A victory for Mourinho’s Fenerbahce is priced at 10/3, with a draw listed at 3/1.
