Anderlecht vs Fenerbahçe prediction and betting tips on February 20, 2025
Game Prediction
Anderlecht and Fenerbahçe will face off in the second leg of the Europa League playoff round on February 20, 2025. The hosts need a massive victory just to force extra time.
Our Prediction for Anderlecht vs Fenerbahçe
The Belgian giants have been in the shadows for quite some time. Their third-place finish in last season’s Jupiler League was their best result in recent years. This season, they have slipped further down the table, though they remain in the top five and are still in the domestic cup race.
Fenerbahçe finds itself in a similar position. After controversially losing the title to Galatasaray last season, they are once again trailing their rivals under José Mourinho, who arrived in the summer. Despite their efforts, they currently sit in second place in the Turkish Super Lig.
Anderlecht had an excellent start to their Europa League campaign, winning their first five matches, including a qualifier against Dinamo Minsk. However, after two draws, they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Slavia Prague and had a dismal January, losing to both Viktoria Plzeň and Hoffenheim.
Fenerbahçe initially competed in the Champions League but struggled. After narrowly defeating Lugano in the qualifiers, they were eliminated by Lille, conceding a decisive goal in extra time despite having a numerical advantage. Their Europa League campaign saw them defeat Royale Union SG and Slavia Prague, while suffering losses to AZ Alkmaar and Athletic Bilbao.
In Turkey, Anderlecht held on for just ten minutes before Fenerbahçe took control, sealing a 3-0 victory by the hour mark.
