Match Time & Date:

19:00
Prediction: 2-1
Twente
All eyes will be on Sukru Saracoglu Stadium when Fenerbahce and Twente go head to head in the Conference League derby. Fenerbahce chiefs did well to reinforce the squad in the summer transfer window and, as a result, the Efsane made a flying start to the season. With the likes of Dusan Tadic, Edin Dzeko, and Michy Batshuayi being fully fit for Thursday’s clash, home win should be considered. Both Lincoln and Emre Mor are out of contention with injuries.
The Reds, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions, but Fenerbahce will pose a much bigger threat for the Eredivisie outfit than their previous rivals. Considering that Fenerbahce are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. As for the away team, Youri Regeer limped off with injury in a 3-1 win over Zwolle, with Mathias Kjolo likely to step up.
Highlighted Player (Joshua King):
Joshua King is a Norway international who plays for Premier League side Bournemouth as a striker. King was born in Oslo on January 15, 1992 and he started his career at the youth team of Romsas. In 2006 the Norwegian footballer moved to Valerenga and two years later he joined Premier League giants Manchester United. Nonetheless, he did not see any game action at Old Trafford as he was immediately sent on loan to Preston.
Joshua King played for the likes of Borussia M’gladbach, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers on loan as well before signing a permanent deal with the Riversiders in January, 2013. The pacey attacker scored only three goals in 56 appearances in the league for Blackburn Rovers, but in 2015 Bournemouth chiefs decided to bring him to Vitality Stadium.
Joshua King impressed in the 2016/2017 Premier League campaign, with the Norwegian striker scoring 16 goals in 36 appearances for the Cherries. King provided two assists for his teammates in the process as well.
Highlighted Team (Twente):
Based in the city of Enschede, Twente is a Dutch football club that welcomes their rivals at De Grolsch Veste. The venue was opened on May 10, 1998, and the capacity of the stadium is 30,205 people. The club was founded in 1965 as a merger of Sportsclub Enschede and Enschedese Boys.
The Reds did remarkably well to win the Eredivisie title in the 2009/10 season, with the team finishing the process only one point clear of Dutch giants Ajax. As a result, Twente booked their place in the Champions League group stages. The Reds did well to collect six points in their group, but that did not help them make it to the last 16.
Twente are well known for their red jerseys, but they wear dark blue shirts when playing on the travels. The Reds take on Heracles Almelo in the Twentse Derby. Sander Boshchker is leading Twente’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 653 goals on his account.
