Fenerbahce made it two wins from two games in the Turkish Super Lig last Sunday when they edged out Hatayspor 2-1 away from home.
Prior to that, Vitor Pereira’s men defeated struggling Giresunspor by the same scoreline to end their run of three games without a win.

Meanwhile, Olympiacos claimed a 2-1 win over 10-man Royal Antwerp when they faced off in their Group D curtain raiser two Thursdays ago.
Pedro Martins’ men head into Thursday’s game off the back of an impressive 2-0 win over Asteras Tripolis in the Greek Super League.
