Across their last 11 matches in all competitions, Fenerbahce have suffered only one defeat — a 1-3 loss away to Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League. Besides that, they’ve shown strong form, earning back-to-back home wins in the Europa League against Nice and Stuttgart.
Domestically, Fenerbahce have been impressive.
