Europa League action continues in Istanbul this week as Fenerbahce and VFB Stuttgart lock horns at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
An intriguing encounter between two of the tournament dark-horses could produce an entertaining contest, with both sides enjoying some fine form in recent weeks.
Set for their first-ever meeting on Thursday, both teams will be confident of emerging with a positive result in one of the early kick-offs.
Fenerbahce team overview
Fenerbahce extended their unbeaten run to four matches with a 2:1 win against Karagümrük in the Turkish Super Lig last weekend. Anderson Talisca and Marco Asensio got their names on the scoresheet as Domenico Tedesco's side claimed a valuable home win.
The Yellow Canaries have been in decent form, picking up three wins in their four most recent unbeaten games, while they have lost just one of nine games played since the end of August.
Usually a decent choice for goal chasers, Fenerbahce have seen over 2.5 goals in three of their last four home matches, including a 2:1 Europa League win against Nice earlier this month.
Head coach Tedesco is unable to call on two first-team players this week. Mert Hakan Yandaş and İrfan Can Kahveci remain sidelined with fitness issues.

VfB Stuttgart team overview
VFB Stuttgart make the trip to Turkey in excellent form after an impressive 3:0 win at Wolfsburg last weekend. Maximilian Mittelstäd was on the scoresheet as VFB eased to an excellent road victory.
A much-improved run of form has seen Stuttgart win five of their last six games while they have lost just two of their nine previous matches. Sebastian Hoeneß's side now sit third in the Bundesliga, five points behind predictable pacesetters Bayern Munich.
Usually a reliable choice to get on the scoresheet, Stuttgart have scored at least one goal in 11 of their last 12 matches and they should be confident of adding to their tally on Thursday.
Head coach Hoeneß has four expected absentees this week. Jamie Leweling, Ermedin Demirovic, Stefan Drljaca and Justin Diehl are tipped to remain absent.
