⭐ Fenerbahce v Rangers Best Bet
Fenerbahce look well placed to secure a first leg lead on Thursday evening. Jose Mourinho’s side come into this game on an impressive 18-game unbeaten run following their 3-0 win over Antalyaspor at the weekend.
Rangers, on the other hand, have lost three of their last five domestic matches and recently relieved Philippe Clement of his duties. While Rangers have saved their best performances for Europe this season, they make little appeal amid much turmoil.
🟢 Fenerbahce v Rangers #WhatOddsPaddy Tip
Youssef En-Nesyri has scored in six of his last eight appearances in the Europa League, including his last three.
Youssef En-Nesyri has scored two goals or more in five of his last 10 outings in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring either side of the break during a recent home win over Kasimpasa.
No Rangers player has committed more fouls than Nicolas Raskin (23) in this season’s Europa League, with the Belgian collecting two yellow cards across his last five appearances.
Nicolas Raskin has been booked six times across his 25 appearances for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership this season.
👕 Fenerbahce v Rangers Predicted XI
🔍 Fenerbahce v Rangers Players to Watch
⚫ Youssef En-Nesyri
As Fenerbahce’s main goal threat, Youssef En-Nesyri stands out for either a goal or an assist . The Moroccan has scored an impressive 26 goals across his 39 appearances in all competitions this season. On top of this, the Fenerbahce’ forward has turned provider five times this term.
Thus, En-Nesyri merits support to register another goal involvement against a Rangers side that failed to keep a clean sheet in six of their eight league phase assignments.
🔵 Nicolas Raskin
Nicolas Raskin has already racked up nine yellow cards across his 36 appearances for Rangers this season. The Belgian was cautioned during Rangers’ last Europa League match with Union Saint-Gilloise and he also tackled himself into trouble away at Olympiakos.
Raskin will be expected to carry out a shackling job on Fenerbahce’s chief creator Dusan Tadic, who has been fouled twice or more in four of his last five outings in the Turkish top flight.
