- Venue: Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium
The Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium is the venue for a Europa League contest on Thursday afternoon as Fenerbahce takes on Nice in Istanbul.
Fenerbahce come into this fixture after breaking a three-game winless run over the weekend, while Nice arrive in Turkey having won just one of their last five fixtures.
Both teams lost their opening Europa League fixtures last week and, in their first ever meeting, will be desperate to get their first points on the board.
Fenerbahce team overview
Fenerbahce turns their attention to Europa League business after a much-needed 2:0 win against Antalyaspor. Second-half goals from Anderson Talisca and Sebastian Szymański secured a first win in four matches for Domenico Tedesco's side.
Since the appointment of the Italian boss, Fener had been held to back-to-back Super Lig draws before a 3:1 defeat in Dinamo Zagreb last week.
While not at their best following the departure of former boss Jose Mourinho, Fenerbahce remain a tough side to beat in Istanbul. The Canaries won three of their last four home fixtures.
Head coach Tedesco has two players missing from his squad this week.Jhon Durán and Mert Hakan Yandaş are expected to remain sidelined for the Turks.

Nice team overview
Nice make the trip to Turkey now winless in three matches after a 1:1 draw against Paris FC in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Jean-Philippe Krasso's late penalty ensured a share of the spoils on the French Riviera.
Franck Haise's side have not been at their best this season, with five defeats recorded in their last eight games across all competitions (W2, D1, L5).
Defensively vulnerable, Nice leaked ten goals in their five most recent games, while they slipped to defeat in each of their last three road fixtures. Haise's men also fell to a 2:1 home reversal against Roma in their first Europa League, league phase matchup last week.
The Eaglets come into this fixture with three first-team players unavailable. Tanguy Ndombélé, Mohamed Abdelmonem and Youssouf Ndayishimiye remain sidelined for the visitors.

Prediction
Home advantage should prove crucial with Nice unlikely to withstand a hostile atmosphere in Istanbul.
I'm backing Fenerbahce to claim the points at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
Three Reasons Why We Expect Fenerbahce to Win
- Fenerbahce won 3 of their last 4 home matches
- Nice lost 6 of their last 9 matches
- Nice lost 4 of their last 5 matches (European competitions)
