Prediction published on 07/03/2024, 06:01  by Sridhar in Conference League Predictions

Fenerbahce will hope to extend their impressive record against Belgian clubs when they travel to Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa Conference League. This round of 16 first leg will be played at Lotto Park in Anderlecht on Thursday. Union started in the Europa League group stages this season and finished third in Group E. That saw them transferred to the Conference League, where they engineered a win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the knockout round play-off. Recent form is a big boost to the Belgians, as they have won their last five matches in a row. In fact, going back to last November, they lost just one of their matches in all competitions, giving them an aura. Playing at home has been a massive boost for them, even in Europe, as Union have won three of their four home matches in the Europa League apart from drawing in the Conference League.

Fenerbahce started in the group phase of the Conference League and ended up topping Group H, where they came back despite suffering two defeats. The Turkish visitors would be keen to look back at their record against Belgian clubs, having won four and drawn two of their last six matches against them. While that itself isn’t enough to push them towards a victory, Fenerbahce will be keen to extend their recent run of games. They have won 15 and drawn three of their last 19 matches in all competitions, with their lone defeat in the sequence coming in the domestic cup competition. Even in the Conference League, Fenerbahce have proven to be a strong team, as suggested by their recent record. They have won ten of their last 12 matches in this competition, although the two defeats in that sequence have come in this year’s campaign.
