Anderlecht vs Fenerbache prediction 20.02.2025 | Europa League

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: 20th February 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Lotto Park

Anderlecht need to overturn a three-goal deficit when they host Fenerbache in the return leg of the Europa League playoffs on Thursday night.

The hosts are fourth in the Belgian top flight, while Fenerbahce currently occupy second place in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Anderlecht prepare for Thursday's match after beating Charleroi 1-0 in the Belgian Pro League last weekend. The Purple and Whites have now won just two of their last six matches, losing three and drawing one. Two of those defeats came in the Europa League, but head coach David Hubert will take heart from the fact that his side have won all but one of their last four games at the Lotto Park.

Fenerbahce meanwhile have been in fine form in recent months. Sarı Kanaryalar go into Thursday's game on a 14-match unbeaten run and won each of the last five matches. José Mourinho's side also scored at least two goals in all but one of the six away games played during that period.

Anderlecht vs Fenerbache Betting Tips: Both teams to score

Fenerbache will be favorites to win this match, despite their three-goal advantage from the first leg, but the Turkish side have not been in the best defensive shape in their recent European away matches. Sarı Kanaryalar didn't keep a clean sheet in their last seven away games in Europe and I fancy them to extend that run on Thursday.

Anderlecht rarely failed to score at the Lotto Park in Europe, with the home side boasting at least a goal from each of their last nine European outings at the ground. They found the back of the net twice or more in each of the last four such fixtures.
