Fenerbahce and Austria Vienna will square off at the Ulker Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League qualifying playoff on Thursday.
The Turkish Super Lig side, who are on a three-game winning streak, will look to pick up where they dropped off in the first leg, where they claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory.
Fenerbahce maintained their impressive start to the new Super Lig campaign, claiming a 4-2 win over Adana Demirspor on Monday. That followed last week’s 2-0 victory away to Austria Vienna.
Fenerbahce have now won their last three games across competitions and are unbeaten in six outings since a 2-1 loss to Dynamo Kyiv in July.
Meanwhile, Vienna head into Thursday’s matchup off a 2-1 victory at Wolfsberger on Sunday.
They have now won successive league games for the first time this season after kicking off their Bundesliga campaign with a draw and two defeats. Wien have managed just one win from their last three away games, scoring four goals and conceding seven.
