THE KEY STATS
- This is Fenerbahçe’s fourth UEFA competition quarter-final. Their only success in the previous three was in the most recent, in the 2012/13 Europa League (W 3-1 on aggregate vs Lazio).
- Fenerbahçe have won only two of their previous nine UEFA competition matches against Greek teams (D2 L5).
- Fenerbahçe have lost four of their last six Europa Conference League matches (W2).
- Fenerbahçe have only failed to score in three of their last 28 UEFA competition matches.
- Fenerbahçe’s 1-0 loss to Union SG in the round of 16 was their first defeat in 13 European home games, they had won 11 and drawn one of their previous 12.
- Fenerbahçe won their previous three home matches in UEFA competition quarter-final ties.
- Fenerbahçe have lost the first leg of a European tie away from home on 22 occasions and have won on aggregate only once.
- Olympiacos are participating in their first UEFA competition quarter-final since the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League when they lost 3-2 on aggregate against Juventus. Their only other UEFA quarter-final was a 4-2 aggregate defeat by Atlético de Madrid in the 1992/93 Cup Winners’ Cup.
- Olympiacos have won five of their last six UEFA competition matches (L1).
- Olympiacos have won their last four UEFA competition two-legged ties.
- Olympiacos have won their last five UEFA competition matches against Turkish opposition,
- Olympiacos have lost only three of their last 13 UEFA competition matches away from home (W3 D7).
- Olympiacos have won five of their last six matches away from home in all competitions (L1).
- Olympiacos have won 22 of the 27 UEFA club competition ties in which they won the first leg at home, and are on a streak of 11 consecutive victories after first-leg home wins. The last time they were eliminated after winning a first leg at home came in the 2013/14 Champions League round of 16 when they beat Manchester United 2-0 in the first leg, but were beaten 3-0 at Old Trafford following a Robin van Persie hat-trick.
THE PREDICTION
We had a thrilling first-leg in Piraeus last week as Olympiakos raced into a 3-0 lead but Fenerbahce fought back to make it 3-2 and set up a possible classic in Istanbul this week in the second-leg. Fener have been really impressive this season as they challenge Galatasaray in the Turkish title race and they enjoyed a 2-1 defeat of Fatih Karagumruk in the Super Lig at the weekend. Coached by Jose Luis Mendilibar, who won the UEFA Europa League with Sevilla last season, Olympiakos have been really impressive since his appointment. Fener are likely favourites with their home advantage but both teams scoring seems a good bet.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
