Anderlecht vs Fenerbahce Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Jose Mourinho’s men come in with a three-goal cushion.

Anderlecht are all set to lock horns with Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League 2024-25 playoffs stage second leg match at home. Jose Mourinho‘s men did very well in the first leg as they secured a comfortable 3-0 win in their home fixture. Anderlecht came up with a poor performance which cost them a defeat in the first leg.

Anderlecht will be under pressure even at their home. They need four goals to win even if they maintain a clean sheet here. Anderlecht do have the advantage of the home ground but they have a lot of work to do. If they want to prevail, then attacking football will be the best option while keeping their defence tight.

Fenerbahce have the lead here and are looking to secure a spot in the next round of the UEFA Europa League. Their goal conversion rate was very good last game. Jose Mourinho’s men scored a goal early and doubled up the lead in the first half itself. They increased the lead to three in the second half and maintained a clean sheet.

Players to Watch

Luis Vazquez (Anderlecht)

They are in desperate need of goals and Vazquez will be one of their important players in the game.

Youssef En-Nesyri (Fenerbahce)

The Moroccan forward has been a great asset to his team. Youssef En-Nesyri is the team’s top goal scorer in the Turkish football league and the UEFA Europa League.
