Anderlecht vs Fenerbahce Prediction & Tips
The first match, played in Turkey, ended in a comfortable 3-0 home win. José Mourinho and his team put Anderlecht in an extremely difficult situation, making the task of advancing to the round of 16 almost impossible. Now, the Belgians have no choice but to attempt a miracle in the second leg.
After the defeat against Fenerbahçe, David Hubert’s side managed to bounce back with a narrow away win over Charleroi. This result allows them to approach the next match against the Turks with a more positive mentality.
Also positive is Fenerbahçe’s record in Europe. Lille, Twente, AZ, Slavia and Midtjylland are the teams Fenerbahçe have faced away in European competitions this season. The record has not been convincing: three defeats, one draw and only one win. Anderlecht will have the opportunity to take advantage of the Turkish giants’ vulnerability in away games and try to spring a surprise.
At home this season, Anderlecht have performed acceptably, but have had serious difficulties against higher-ranked opponents or teams of a similar level. Hoffenheim, Brugge and Genk all claimed victories at Lotto Park, while Portugal’s Porto managed a draw.
Fenerbahçe, meanwhile, had a fairly quiet weekend, beating Kasımpaşa 3-1 at home. This victory allowed the team to continue their tough fight with Galatasaray and keep their title hopes alive.
The Turkish giants are now in their best form, having not lost a game so far this season. Fenerbahçe’s winning streak has now reached five games, and their impressive goal difference of 16-3 confirms the team’s strength. With such a level of play, the Istanbulites have every chance of winning this away game as well.
