Correct score prediction: Anderlecht 2-3 Fenerbahce
Anderlecht are three goals down and need to chase the game from the first whistle in Thursday’s second leg, so expect an open, end-to-end contest in Brussels.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Anderlecht are slight underdogs
- HOME: 7/4 (2.75) – 36.4%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Anderlecht were convincingly beaten in the first leg by Fenerbahce (3-0), so the Belgians offer little value in the match result market at 7/4 ahead of Thursday’s game.
Fenerbahce should be in cruise control on Thursday with a three-goal head start and the visitors will kick off the second leg as 7/5 favourites to prevail. Head to our free football tips page for more Europa League predictions.

Anderlecht preview: Three could miss out
Mario Stroeykens, Yari Verschaeren and Majeed Ashimeru are out injured for Anderlecht. The Belgians won 1-0 at Sporting Charleroi at the weekend, though they will need an even bigger winning margin to triumph against Fenerbahce.
Predicted lineup: Coosemans (GK), Sardella, Adryelson, Hey, Augustinsson, Dendoncker, Leoni, Degreef, Stroeykens, Huerta, Vazquez

Fenerbahce preview: Soyuncu and Carlos are doubts
Fenerbahce could be without the services of Caglar Soyuncu, Ismail Yuksek, Diego Carlos, Alexander Dijku, Lincoln, Rodrigo Becao and Jayden Oosterwolde this week. Head Coach Jose Mourinho could name a similar XI to the one that played so well in the first leg.
Predicted lineup: Egribayat (GK), Skriniar, Amrabat, Akcicek, Osayi-Samuel, Fred, Szymanski, Kostic, Tadic, En-Nesyri, Dzeko

Player to watch – Youssef En-Nesyri
Youssef En-Nesyri scored Fenerbahce’s third goal in their comfortable first-leg win over Anderlecht in Turkey last week and the Moroccan forward has been in sensational form since the turn of the year.
En-Nesyri is on fire for Fenerbahce
En-Nesyri has scored an incredible nine goals in his last six appearances in all competitions for Fenerbahce and the 27-year-old should be equipped with enough confidence to make another telling impact against Anderlecht on Thursday.
