Fenerbahce vs Anderlecht Prediction: Istanbul will be stronger

Prediction for the UEFA Europa League match which will take place on February 13. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce is one of the three most titled teams in Turkey. However, they have a serious problem - the last title they won was in 2013/14 season. They won silver honors in the last edition of the national championship, but now they are seriously fighting for the long-awaited championship. They have won six of their last six Super League games to move into second place in the standings, just three points behind Galatasaray.

But at the general stage of the UEFA Europa League Jose Mourinho's wards performed very poorly. In eight rounds they celebrated only two victories, being stronger than Union and Slavia - 2:1 each. The draws were recorded in meetings with Twente - 1:1, Manchester United - 1:1, Lyon - 0:0, Midtjylland - 2:2. At the same time, they lost to AZ and Athletic - 1:3 and 0:2, respectively. Ten points scored allowed the team to take only the 24th line in the final standings.

Anderlecht

Anderlecht, who are the most titled club in Belgium, are in a similar position. The Purple and Whites have accumulated 34 championships in their history, but the last one was won in the 2016/17 season. After that, they lost ground on the domestic scene, and in the current draw of the tournament they are not even in the top three, sitting only in fourth position. The gap from the third place is four points, and from the leader - 15 points.

In the Europa League Brussels started with the qualification round, where they had some problems, but still passed Dinamo Minsk, winning twice - 1:0. At the general stage they started very convincingly, beating Ferencvaros - 2:1, Real Sociedad - 2:1, Ludogorets - 2:0. Then there were draws with RFH and Porto - 1:1 and 2:2, respectively, and at the finish they lost to Victoria - 0:2, as well as Hoffenheim - 3:4. These failures deprived them of a direct passage to the round of 16 of the tournament, as they took tenth place in the overall table.
