International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Fenerbahçe and Rennes are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
Rennes have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 3000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
The visiting Rennes played their last game only four days ago, a Ligue 1 match. That game, against Angers SCO, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rennes.
Fenerbahçe form and stats
Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the group stage.This stadium, Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi, has been a fortress for Fenerbahçe in the Super Lig so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-1-0. This match is a Europa League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 6 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses in this competition.
The Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Altay Bayindir is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 187 minutes without conceding a goal in the Super Lig.
Fenerbahçe's last game was hosting Istanbul Basaksehir and winning 1-0. Manager de Jesus felt very clever after Rossi scored the winning goal against Istanbul Basaksehir, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 74th minute. Goalkeeper Bayındır got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.64 out of ten. Bayındır topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that match, a Super Lig win away at Ankaragucu.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Fenerbahçe have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 5 matches with the results: Won 0, drawn 2 and lost 3.
The manager de Jesus will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Istanbulspor in only three days.
Fenerbahçe always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi with 20 goals in 6 league games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
Rennes form and stats
1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Rennes playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. Total Europa League statistics for Rennes: 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
It's the second away game in a row for Rennes, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Angers SCO last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Génésio when Majer scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute. Midfield player Bourigeaud was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.93/10. Bourigeaud served one assist and hit four key passes.
That result followed a home victory 3-2 versus Olympique Lyonnais in the Ligue 1.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Rennes playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 1 Rennes win, 0 draws and 5 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rennes are hosting Montpellier in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
Rennes have scored 7 goals on their travels this season, from 5 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Rennes have seen the ball go into their own net 6 times on the road.
