Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Fenerbahce

Form: DWLWW

Jose Mourinho's team battled from one goal down to hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. This was their second successive draw in the competition, having played out a 1-1 draw against FC Twente beforehand. 

The Yellow Canaries were behind a disappointing performance last weekend in the league against Samsunspor, squandering their lead twice to be held to a 2-2 draw away from home. This has left them occupying fourth place in the standings and are a massive eight points behind league leaders Galatasaray. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1 

Livakovic; Djiku, Soyuncu, Becao, Muldur; Amrabat, Fred; Tadic, Szymanski, Saint-Maximin; Dzeko

Bodrum

Form: LDWWL

Bodrum finished in fourth place last season in the second division, ultimately defeating fellow rival Sakaryaspor in the promotion play-offs to secure their promotion to the top-flight for the first time in club history. They have made an impressive start in the tip flight for a team that was expected to struggle as they are currently in 12th place and have maintained a four-point cushion over the relegation zone. 

The away side's winless run was extended to two matches (L1, D1) following a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Rizespor. Away from home, they have avoided defeat in their last two matches (W1, D1), although their record of just winning in the last four matches (L2, D1) does not bode well for them as they head into this fixture.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Sousa; Celustka, Ajeti, Aytemur, Ergun; Aslan, Mohammed; Dimitrov, Brazao, Fredy; Puscas
