Fenerbahce set for crucial win over Anderlecht
On Thursday afternoon, Fenerbahce host Anderlecht in Group D of the Europa League, in what could prove to be a pivotal game in deciding who progresses to the knockout stages of the competition.
Fenerbahce are currently second in the group on four points, but trail group leaders Dinamo Zagreb by five points in the race for qualification for the next round.
However, the Turkish side are a point clear of third place Spartak Trnava and three clear of Thursday night’s visitors.
The home side are enduring a difficult start to their season, as they are just outside the relegation zone in their domestic league. Their recent form in the Europa League has been slightly better, as they have picked up four points from their last two games against Spartak Trnava and last time out when they drew 2-2 against the visitors.
The Turkish sides recent form overall in this competition is has not been great though, as they have won just one of their last six games.
Anderlecht heads to the Turkish capital on bottom of the group, having picked up just one point from their three outings. That one point came in the aforementioned reverse fixture.
The Belgian side has now failed to win in their last five games in the Europa League. Their recent games in the competition have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven outings.
The visitors have won just two of their last seven away games in the Europa League. Their recent games on their travels in the Europa League have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their seven away games in 90 minutes.
Forebet predicts that Fenerbahce will enhance their chances of making the knockout stages by recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
