Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Ulker Stadyumu in Istanbul will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kiev. The Turkish outfit faced no difficulties in the EL playoffs, with the team beating Austria Vienna 6-1 on aggregate, and they are now on a quest to get their revenge on Dynamo Kiev for the heart-breaking Champions League defeat. A man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Joshua King, while Ecuador international Enner Valencia is back from a domestic ban.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, failed to upset Benfica in the Champions League playoffs, and given their displays in back-to-back losses to Dnipro and Zorya, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Fenerbahce. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Istanbul, with both Denys Garmash and Sergiy Sydorchuk pushing for a start.
