As soon as the draw for the round of 16 was made in Nyon, we immediately realized that Fenerbahçe, despite playing the first leg at home, are halfway to the quarter finals of this Europa League. There are a couple of factors, very obvious and not even requiring a very careful eye, that lead us to say this. Let’s take a look at them together.
The first has a name and surname: José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach is the only manager to have won the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League in his career. It’s clear that he has a special feeling for these competitions. It’s equally clear that the Rangers, away from home, are a team that is really difficult to predict. Or, rather, difficult to predict as winners. In the league, the Scots come into this match on the back of three wins in a row, but this year they have also struggled a lot in the league. There was a period, not too long ago, when the Rangers couldn’t win a game. This half-resurrection is not enough to think they can come out unscathed from the field of the Turks, who obviously want to make it difficult for them to qualify as early as Thursday afternoon’s game.
Fenerbahce’s home score, moreover, is really important. Mou has achieved 9 useful results in a row so far, with only one defeat, which dates back to the first days of December against Athletic Bilbao, also in Europe. This is another factor that, of necessity, must be considered.

The prediction
From what we’ve told you before, obviously there’s only one result that should come out of this match. And it’s obviously a victory, even a big one, for Fenerbahce. Which will make qualification easier.
