Fenerbahçe SK, on the other hand, are currently 15th in the points table. With two wins, two draws, and one loss in their opening five matches, they have accumulated eight points so far. Jose Mourinho was appointed their manager in June.

He has done a decent job so far. The yellow Canaries are second in their domestic league, but they will also look to rise the ranks in the UEFA Europa League.

Kick-off:

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 9:00 PM IST

Venue: Şükrü Saracoğlu

Form:

Athletic Club (in all competitions): W-W-W-W-W

Fenerbahçe (in all competitions): L-W-W-W-W

Players to watch out for:

Edin Dzeko (Fenerbahçe)

The striker is scoring for fun this season, as he has already found the back of the net on 13 occasions. He has been a reliable goal-scorer throughout his career and is showing no signs of slowing down, even at the age of 38. Athletic Club are known for their high pressing, and Fenerbahçe will have to rely on long balls and set pieces against them. This makes the role of Edin Dzeko even more important for his team.

Nico Williams (Athletic Club)

After having a historic 2024 Euros, Nico Williams was supposed to have his greatest season yet for Athletic Club. Things may not have turned out how everyone expected but the youngster has shown his quality on multiple occasions. He just glides across the pitch with his dazzling pace and is lethal in 1vs1 situations.
