Fenerbahce preview: The Yellow Canaries looking to surge up the standings
Fenerbahce’s Europa League campaign began with a stumble against Dinamo Zagreb, but that proved to be the spark for a major turnaround. Since then, the Istanbul giants have produced a flawless run of results across competitions.
Their recent 5-2 victory at Caykur Rizespor extended their unbeaten streak to 10 matches, during which they have delivered consistent attacking threats and tightened their defensive structure.
This run has also seen them close the gap in the Turkish Super Lig, now sitting just a point shy of leaders Galatasaray, while they have secured wins over Nice (2-1) and Stuttgart (1-0) in the Europa League before earning a disciplined goalless draw away to Viktoria Plzen.
Placed 15th in the league phase with seven points, Fenerbahce sit within striking distance of the top-eight automatic spots. A victory here would likely propel them into the qualification zone and draw them level with Ferencvaros.
Suspensions are the major issue for Tedesco, with Fred, Ismail Yuksek and Jayden Oosterwolde all ruled out following yellow-card accumulations.
This forces adjustments particularly in midfield, where Talisca and Mert Hakan Yandas are in contention for starting roles.
Up front, Youssef En-Nesyri is pushing for a recall after finding the net off the bench last weekend.
Oguz Aydin, Jhon Duran and Tedesco himself are one booking away from suspension.
Predicted lineup: Ederson, Semedo, Skriniar, Oosterwolde, Mercan, Yandas, Asensio, Nene, Talisca, Akturkoglu & En-Nesyri

Ferencvaros preview: Strong starters but shaken by weekend setback
Ferencvaros arrive in Istanbul with one of the best Europa League starts of any team this season, collecting 10 points from their opening four matches.
Their confidence took a hit, however, with a 3-1 defeat to Nyiregyhaza Spartacus at the weekend, ending a run of four consecutive victories.
The Hungarian side remain well positioned domestically, just three points behind the league leaders with a game in hand, but the loss has introduced questions about their ability to back up their strong continental form.
Their European away performances have been excellent, winning their last three on the road, and they now chase a fourth straight European away victory for the first time in their history.
The visitors have no confirmed absentees, though Stefan Gartenmann remains a doubt after missing three straight matches.
Ibrahim Cisse must avoid a yellow card to be available for the upcoming clash with Rangers.
Predicted lineup: Dibusz, Szalai, Raemaekers, Cisse, Makreckis, Levi, Kanichowsky, Toth, Nagy, Pesic & Joseph
Ferencvaros’ last five results
- 22.11.25 – Ferencvaros 1-3 Nyiregyhaza
- 09.11.25 – Kazincbarcika 1-3 Ferencvaros
- 06.11.25 – Ferencvaros 3-1 Ludogorets
- 01.11.25 – Ferencvaros 4-1 MTK Budapest
- 29.10.25 – Ferencvaros 4-0 Bekescsaba 1912
Player to Watch: Marco Asensio
Asensio comes into this game in great scoring form, having found the net three times in the last two matches, including a brace in the weekend’s win over Rizespor.
He brings a lot of experience at this level, and he looks likely to make the difference for the Yellow Canaries on Thursday.
