With the 2022-23 Europa League cmapign set to commence this week, Feerbahce will welcome Dynamo Kyiv to Turkey in the opening game of Gruop B on Thursday.
The visitors head into the contest without a victory in their previous four matches across all competitions, while the hosts are fresh off the back of a 2-0 victory.
Fenerbahce have had a strong start to their 2022-23 campaign in all competitions, and they currently find themselves in third place in the Turkish Super Lig after the opening five matches.
Having won three of their matches so far, Jorge Jesus will be hoping to see that form continue in the Europa League on Thursday, especially since the club failed to qualify from the group stage last season.
In the 2021-22 campaign Fenerbahce were only able to win one of their six matches, and while they did transfer to the Europa Conference League, more will be required this time around.
Last season Dynamo Kyiv did not compete in this tournament as they were part of the Champions League. However, they ended up finishing bottom of their group, which ended their European adventures.
Mircea Lucescu will be expecting more from his squad this time around, but they do not head into this contest in good form based on recent performances.
Dynamo Kyiv were beaten 3-2 at the weekend when they took on Zorya Luhansk in the Ukrainian Premier League, despite the fact that Vitaliy Buyalski and Vladyslav Vanat got themselves on the scoresheet.
They did have the chance to get into the Champions League again this season, but they were beaten 5-0 on aggregate by Benfica in their playoff tie.
Dynamo currently find themselves in the relegation zone in the league, showcasing how tough their start has been, which is why this contest might be a welcome distraction.

Fenerbahce news
Following a 2-0 win in the league, there is a chance that Jesus opts to make no changes to his Fenerbahce squad who have looked impressive in the early stages of this season.
The hosts will be without Nazim Sangare as he is currently on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury.
Dynamo Kyiv news
Dynamo Kyiv will have to deal with injury problems, with Denys Popov currently out of action with a shoulder problem that he has been dealing with this summer.
Vladyslav Supryaga is another player that the visitors will have to make do without as he has a hip problem at the moment.
Predictions and Odds
With this being the opening contest of the group, we expect that the focus is going to be on simply picking up points as quickly as possible.
However, Fenerbahce have been the stronger of the two regarding their respective leagues, and that could be the difference maker in this one.
