Fenerbahce welcome Aston Villa to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium in the Europa League on Thursday.
They secured an impressive 4-0 win at Brann last time out, extending their unbeaten run in the competition to five matches.
Villa registered a 2-1 win at Basel, ending their 10-year unbeaten home run in the competition.
Fenerbahce began their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 defeat at Dinamo Zagreb, but have subsequently collected 11 points from five games.
Domenico Tedesco’s side kept their automatic qualification hopes alive with an impressive outing against Brann. They are just two points adrift of eighth-placed Porto.
Since losing to Benfica in the Champions League play-offs, Fenerbahce have lost just two games across all competitions.
Villa head into this clash off the back of a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Everton in the Premier League.
The Villans have picked up 15 points in six Europa League games – the joint-highest in the competition. They need three points to secure automatic qualification to the round of 16.
The two sides have met twice in the competition, with Villa prevailing on both occasions.
Archie Brown, Levent Mercan and Sebastian Szymanski are injury concerns for Fenerbahce. It is unclear whether Youssef En-Nesyri will be available after his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Villa are without John McGinn, Boubacar Kamara, Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana, while Jadon Sancho is doubtful. New signing Alysson is ineligible.
Fenerbahce (4-2-3-1): Ederson, Mert Muldur, Jayden Oosterwolde, Milan Skriniar, Nelson Semedo, Ismail Yuksek, Matteo Guendouzi, Kerem Akturkoglu, Marco Asensio, Anthony Musaba, Talisca.
Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Marco Bizot, Matty Cash, Victor Lindelof, Ezri Konsa, Lucas Digne, Lamare Bogarde, Youri Tielemans; Evans Guessand, Morgan Rogers, Emi Buendia, Ollie Watkins.
We predict Fenerbahce will win 2-1.
