Fenerbahce vs Anderlecht Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Jose Mourinho’s men face Anderlecht challenge in Europa League.

Fenerbahce are all set to host Anderlecht in their upcoming UEFA Europa League 2024-25 playoffs stage first leg. Jose Mourinho’s men barely made it to the playoffs stage of the UEL as they finished 24th in the league stage. They won only a couple of games out of eight matches during the league stage. Anderlecht on the other hand finished 10th after winning four games in the same amount of matches.

The home side were held to a draw in their last couple of Europa League games. In their last UEL game, Jose Mourinho’s men were doing fine and took the lead as well at the start of the second half. But they soon gave it away after conceding a goal from their opponents. They will have to step up and have to come up with some aggressive football at home to gain an advantage over their opponents.

Anderlecht will be low on confidence. First of all, the coming UEL match is taking place away from their home and secondly, they fell prey to Hoffenheim in their last Europa League match. It was a close match but Anderlecht for the better of Hoffenheim. They came up with a good attack but because of a poor defence, they lost the match.

Players to Watch

Anderson Talisca (Fenerbahce)

Having recently joined Fenerbahce, Anderson Talisca has already scored a goal in two Turkish league matches for his side and has also scored a goal in the Turkish Cup. Jose Mourinho will make sure that Talisca starts for his side in their important Europa League game as he is a great addition to the squad and has strengthened the attack very well.

Kasper Dolberg (Anderlecht)

Kasper Dolberg is in good form in the Belgian Pro League but the same cannot be said for his performance in the Europa League for Anderlecht. The Denmark national football team striker has only been able to score a single goal in the UEL. In the Belgian league, he has scored 14 goals in 21 matches which is a good number. If Kasper Dolberg steps up, he can be a real threat to Fenerbahce’s defence.
