Prediction
Given the recent form of both FC Nordsjaelland and Fenerbahce, as well as the historical data in head-to-head matchups, the prediction leans towards an away win. Fenerbahce exhibit a more formidable and consistent team, particularly in front of the goal. Hence, a betting tip would favor Fenerbahce to win perhaps with an Asian Handicap considering their offensive capabilities.
Moreover, with Fenerbahce's games often featuring multiple goals, an Over 2.5 goals bet could also be plausible. Considering both teams' tendency to score, a "Both Teams to Score" bet may not be out of the question, but Fenerbahce's attacking strength makes them likely to outscore their hosts.
In conclusion, a reasonable betting tip might be Fenerbahce to win with Over 2.5 goals scored in the match. Given Nordsjaelland's recent scoring struggles, Fenerbahce might also keep a clean sheet, which could lead to higher returns if included in combination bets.
