"Likewise, despite falling to a close-fought 1-0 loss against Aston Villa on January 22nd, that is the only defeat that Fenerbahce have suffered across all fronts since opening the New Year. With their sights set on mounting a genuine title charge this season, Tedesco's men will be confident of making a first-leg statement in Istanbul and they are installed as a landslide contender on home soil."
"Enduring another turbulent time behind the scenes, new boss Vitor Pereira has a major job on his hands at the City Ground. Missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a downbeat 0-0 stalemate at home against Wolves, that result was the final nail in Sean Dyche's coffin. Falling to a 3-1 defeat away at Leeds earlier in the month, Wednesday's guests have continued to show some rather glaring issues this season."
Europa League play-offs commence with notable ties including Fenerbahce vs Nottingham Forest and Celtic hosting Stuttgart. Fenerbahce carry excellent form, winning four straight matches by an aggregate 11-4 and beating Trabzonspor 3-2, with their only defeat since the New Year a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on January 22nd. Domenico Tedesco's side aim to assert a first-leg advantage in Istanbul and are heavy home favorites. Nottingham Forest face turbulence after a 0-0 draw with Wolves prompted Sean Dyche's departure; Vitor Pereira arrives to address poor results including a 3-1 loss at Leeds as Forest battle relegation.
