Fenerbahce vs Stuttgart prediction
Following the sacking of Jose Mourinho in August, Fenerbahce replaced the now Benfica boss with Domenico Tedesco. The former Belgium manager leads his Fener side into this one on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 defeat of Fatih Karagumruk at the weekend, as they continue to underwhelm in the Turkish Super Lig.
Under the management of the excellent and highly-rated Sebastian Hoeness, Stuttgart won the DFB-Pokal title last season. They will believe they are real contenders for the UEFA Europa League trophy this year. They have started the league phase with a 2-1 win over Celta Vigo before a 2-0 loss to Basel 1893 in the Swiss Super League.
Stuttgart have been one of the most entertaining teams to watch in Germany, but they are also effective and they will fancy their chances of inflicting further pain on the Turks.
