The action continues in the UEFA Europa League as Fenerbahce and Stuttgart lock horns at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Thursday. Domenico Tedesco’s men head into the midweek tie unbeaten at home this season and will be looking to extend this impressive run.
Fenerbahce moved into third place in the Turkish Super Lig at the weekend when they held on to see out a 2-1 victory over Gaziantep at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
Tedesco’s men remain one of just two sides unbeaten in the Super Lig this season, having picked up five wins and four draws from their seven matches so far while scoring 14 goals and conceding six.
Fenerbahce now return to action in the Europa League, where they have picked up three points from the first six available, having suffered a 3-1 defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in the group opener on September 24, one week before bouncing back in a 2-1 home victory over OGC Nice.
Elsewhere, Stuttgart maintained their fine run of results in the German Bundesliga as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.
With that result, Sebastian HoeneB’s men have now won all but one of their last seven games across all competitions, with a 3-1 loss against Freiburg on September 13 being the exception.
Stuttgart, who are currently third in the Bundesliga table, now turn their focus to the Europa League, where they kicked off their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Celta Vigo on September 25, one week before losing 2-0 against Basel in Switzerland.
