Fenerbahçe form and stats
Fenerbahçe have collected seven points from their first three Super Lig games here at Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi, a promising start. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Fenerbahçe has performed like this (both home and away): 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
Fenerbahçe are returning here after visiting Hatayspor in a Super Lig game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Diego Rossi and Filip Novák scored the goal(s). Diego Rossi, an attacker, was the best player for the side in that game, earning a rating of 7.43 (out of 10). Rossi scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Before that, Fenerbahçe had a Super Lig home game versus Giresunspor which ended with a victory 2-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Fenerbahçe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fenerbahçe as a small favourite), we find four games. Fenerbahçe has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Kasimpasa are coming to town in three days.
A decent goal production from Fenerbahçe in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. From these home matches, Fenerbahçe have conceded only 2 goals.
Olympiakos Piraeus form and stats
Olympiakos's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 8th finals against Arsenal.Olympiakos Piraeus are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Super League. When we have look at the Europa League statistics, we find 2W-1D-0L. This is both home and away. Things are running smoothly for Olympiakos who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against PAOK.
Olympiakos play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Asteras Tripolis.
A home win before that, celebrating 4-1 vs Apollon Smirnis.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Olympiakos Piraeus playing away and similar expectations, we found two relevant matches. Results were zero Olympiakos wins, zero draws and two defeats.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only one day as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to PAS Giannina.
4 goals so far away for Olympiakos Piraeus, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
