FC Twente vs Fenerbahce Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

José Mourinho’s men will count on Edin Dzeko’s destructive form against the Dutch side.

FC Twente will host Fenerbahce in their second game on Friday 4th October of the UEFA Europa League. Twente who are presently in fourth position at the Europa League have been in a good run of form lately winning all three of their last Eredivisie matches. In fact they also drew their last game against powerhouse Manchester United in their away game which is bound to give them confidence.

“The Tukkers” were trailing till the 67th minute courtesy of a Christian Eriksen goal till forward Sam Lammers equalized. The match finally ended in a 1-1 draw.

The visitors too are not lagging behind. Under maestro Jose Mourinho’s tutelage the club are giving Galatasaray a run for their money. The “Yellow Canaries” have found themselves in the second place in the Super Lig with 16 points to their tally. They have also carried this form to the Europa League beating Union Saint Gilloise 2-1 in their opening fixture. No other team has managed to outplay Fenerbahce this season except for league leaders Galatasaray.

Kick-Off:

Friday, 4th October, 12:30 AM IST

Players to watch :

Sem Steijn (FC Twente)

Sem Steijn is definitely the player to watch out for in the FC Twente squad. The 22 year old is the current top scorer at the Eredevisie with six goals. The former ADO Den Haag player is doing wonders for his new club since moving in last March.

Steijn comes from a footballing family himself. His father Maurice Steijn is a former Dutch footballer and also served as the manager for AFC Ajax. The Hague born player has already amassed 29 goals in his 67 appearances for the Enschede based club.

Edin Dzeko (Fenerbahce)

If Twente has the services of a youngster, Fenerbahce can count on a veteran to rely upon. The name Edin Dzeko needs no introduction. The tall and powerful striker has lent his services to some of the big names in Europe in his long 20 year career.

From the Czech Leagues to the English Premier League to the Bundesliga and Serie A Dzeko has seen it all. Currently he is lending his services to the Super Lig with Fenerbahce. The 38 year old is still going strong and is the second highest goal scorer at the Super Lig with five goals in his collection.

Match Prediction for FC Twente vs Fenerbahce

Both Twente and Fenerbahce are in good form ahead of their exciting match-us. As such the match should go pretty even. Fenerbahce are edging it just by a margin with how the team is lining up and Edin Dzeko’s crazy form but overlooking Twente would be a big mistake as well.

The match is expected to produce goals and it will be interesting to see how the defence holds up. Caglar Soyuncu’s absence from the Fenerbahce squad will also be a factor that Jose Mourinho will have to address.

Prediction: FC Twente 1-2 Fenerbahce
