Fenerbahce vs Austria Vienna Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 375

Fenerbahce will look to secure a place in the Europa League group stage when they take on Austria Vienna at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the second leg of their qualification playoffs tie on Thursday night.

Fenerbahce did well to get one leg in the group stage of the competition after claiming a 2-0 win over Austria Vienna at away last week, with Joshua King and Serdar Dursun getting on the score sheet.

Jorge Jesus’ side will now have a two-goal and home advantage, and they only require a draw to qualify for the Europa League.

They are coming off a confidence-boosting 4-2 home win over Adana in the domestic league, which saw them extend their unbeaten run to six matches across all competitions, winning the last consecutively. Fenerbahce are also a strong side at home and should fancy their chance of qualifying, but they will need to be on top of their game and deny Austria Vienna any hopes of a comeback.

Vienna bounced back from their first leg disappointment with a 2-1 win over Wolfsberg in the league at away last weekend.

The victory was crucial for the Violets who shown they are capable of performing well against decent sides on the road and will go in guns blazing looking to get on the scoresheet first. However, they face a tough ask on Thursday as Fenerbahce are hard to beat at home and will need to bring more that their A-game.
