Fenerbahce vs Stuttgart preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

The Super Lig side will hope to use its home advantage, while Stuttgart will deal with the challenge of playing away.

The outcome of this match will be important for both teams as a win will see either Fenerbahce or Stuttgart go higher on the new Europa league table.

Fenerbahce  is on a decent run of form going into the match. In their last six games, they have won 3, drawn 2, and lost 1, scoring about 1:33 goals and letting in 1 goal per game on average.

Their performance at the Sukru Sarica Oglu  stadium is even better, as they score more goals than they concede.

3rd place Stuttgart’s recent form in Germany is superb, winning 5 of their last 6 games, including a solid 3-0 win away at Wolfsburg. However their results in European away games haven’t been as strong.

They have had mixed performances when playing outside Germany, which makes people wonder if they can play just as well in European competitions as they do at home.

Fenerbahce are aiming to make their home ground a tough place for opponents and pick up important early points in the group. Stuttgart will want to prove they can perform well away from home and stay competitive.

This will be the first time that Fenerbahce and Stuttgart will meet in a competitive match. Therefore, there's no head-to-head record between these two teams.

However, those betting can focus on Fenerbahce's strong home advantage and Stuttgart’s shaky away record.

Playing at home, Fenerbahce will likely stick with their usual 4-2-3-1 setup. Key players expected to start include defenders Milan Skriniar and Wolde, midfielders Marco Asensio, and Forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

There are no new injury concerns mentioned in recent reports. However, Duran J is still out on a long-term injury, which will see him miss this crucial match.

On the VFB Stuttgart side, they have more injury problems compared to the home team. Demirovic E, Drljaca S, and Leweling J are all still injured. Their Sebastian Hoeneb will rely heavily on his substitutions for this match.

Fenerbahce: Cetin; Semedo, Oosterworlde, Soyuncu, Mercan; Alvarez, Yuksek; Doregeles, Asensio, Youssef En-Nesyri; Talisca

Stuttgart: Nubel; Hendriks, Jaquez, Chabot; Mittelstadt, Andres, Stiller, Assignon; Nartey, Tomas; El Khannouss

Based on the stats, Fenerbahce are much stronger when playing at home, while Stuttgart can be dangerous in attack but have not been steady in away European games. Bet on Livescorebet that Fenerbahce will have the edge and could grab a close win or at least pick up a point.
