by Kennedy Kechula in Europa League Predictions
Turkish giants Fenerbahce will play host to Scottish side Rangers in the first leg of the two teams’ Europa League round of 16 tie. This match will be staged at the Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleksi in Istanbul on Thursday. Let’s take a look at the match preview detailing the stats which lead us to two predictions.
The hosts finished in the last possible position for the knockout round play-off and had to play two extra matches to secure their place here. Jose Mourinho’s side registered a 5-2 aggregate win against Anderlecht and they will want to build on their 3-0 win in the home leg.
This especially as Rangers are having a difficult campaign and are coming off a league defeat. As these two battle for a spot in the quarters, they will have a keen eye on the Roma v Athletic Bilbao game as their next opponent will come from there.

Fenerbahce Istanbul - Rangers: Form Analysis
Fenerbahce’s low finish in the league phase doesn’t tell the story of their abilities. The Turkish giants are one of the in-form sides in Europe at the moment. They’ll arrive for this game having last lost in December.
Jose Mourinho’s side is unbeaten in 18 matches, having drawn just five times in that run. Three of those five draws were, however, in the Europa League and their last defeat also came in the competition.
The Turkish giants were thus forced to go through the play-offs, where they dispatched Anderlecht 5-2. In warming up for this game, they thrashed Antalyaspor 3-0 to stay firmly in the league title race.
Fenerbahce have eight wins in nine home matches.
Rangers are set for a tough run of matches. The back-to-back matches against Fenerbahce will be followed by the Glasgow derby, where they are supposed to visit Celtic.
It is not a very good period for the Gers as they are coming from a 2-1 home defeat to Motherwell. That result marked a third straight game in which they conceded twice.
It was also their third defeat in five matches and they’ve now fallen 16 points behind Celtic in the Premiership. Rangers have two wins only in their last five matches in the Europa League.
The only two meetings between these sides was in 2001 with Fenerbahce winning the home leg and drawing in Glasgow.

Rangers are the underdogs coming into this game. They have managed just three wins inside the last nine matches. In three of their last five matches, the Glasgow giants suffered defeat.

The Turkish giants are facing a Scottish opponent for the fifth time and they’ve never lost in the earlier four. With that, and recent form, our prediction for Fenerbahçe v Rangers is that Fenerbahce Istanbul wins the match.
