Fenerbahce is set to kick off their Europa League campaign on Thursday night against Union SG, looking to bounce back from a disappointing domestic defeat to Galatasaray.

Fenerbahce:

Despite the setback, which saw them lose 3-1 with goals from Lucas Torreira, Dries Mertens, and Gabriel Sara, Fenerbahce has had a solid start to the Turkish Super Lig, currently sitting second, five points behind the leaders. After a brief stint in the Champions League qualifying rounds ended in disappointment against Lille, they aim to make a strong impact in the Europa League, especially after a successful run last season where they defeated Union SG in the round of 16. The Yellow Canaries will seek to regain their momentum and secure a vital win on home soil.

Union SG:

Union SG arrives in Istanbul after a challenging start to the season, having recently played to a goalless draw with Standard Liege. Following their exit from the Champions League after a 4-1 aggregate defeat to Slavia Prague, the Belgian side has struggled for form, going winless in four matches, including three draws. Despite this, they have shown resilience, with Mohammed Fuseini leading their scoring efforts with two goals this season. Currently languishing in 12th place in the Pro League, Union SG is determined to find their rhythm and build on their recent successes, including victories in the Belgian Cup and Super Cup in 2024. As they prepare to face Fenerbahce, they aim to turn around their fortunes and make a strong statement in the Europa League.

Prediction:  2-0
