FC Twente vs Fenerbahce Prediction and Betting Tips | October 3rd 2024

FC Twente and Fenerbahce return to action in the Europa League when they square off at the De Grolsch Veste on Thursday. Joseph Oosting’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the visitors, having suffered defeat in their last three meetings since a 2-1 victory in September 2009.

Twenty-seven-year-old forward Sam Lammers grabbed the headlines for Twente in last Thursday's Europa League opener as he netted in the 68th minute to hand them a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

This was followed by a 1-0 victory over NAC Breda on September 29 in the Eredivisie, where Oosting’s side are currently fourth in the table with 14 points from the first seven games.

Twente head into Thursday unbeaten in five straight matches across all competitions, claiming three wins and two draws since a 4-2 friendly loss against Fortuna Düsseldorf on September 5.

Fenerbahce, on the other hand, turned in a solid team display at the weekend when they picked up a 2-0 victory over Antalyaspor in their Super Lig clash at the Corendon Airlines Park.

Mourinho’s side have now won all but one of their most recent five games in all competitions, with a 3-1 defeat against rivals Galatasaray on September 21 being the exception.

Fenerbahce return to action in the Europa League, where they kicked off the 2024-25 campaign with a 2-1 home win over Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise last Thursday.
