Anderlecht will welcome Fenerbahce to Lotto Park in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League knockout phase round of 16 on Thursday. They met in Istanbul last week and the Yellow Canaries registered a 3-0 home win thanks to goals from Dušan Tadić, Edin Džeko, and Youssef En-Nesyri.
The hosts bounced back from their loss in the first leg with a 1-0 away triumph over Charleroi in the Belgian Pro League. Luis Vázquez, who was subbed in for Kasper Dolberg in the first half, scored the only goal of the match in the 62nd minute.
The visitors extended their winning streak to five games across all competitions on Sunday with a 3-1 home win over Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig. En-Nesyri continued his fine form and bagged a brace.
