Fenerbahce vs Athletic Club Prediction and Betting Tips | December 11th 2024 

Fenerbahce will face Athletic Club at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Wednesday in the league phase of the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League. The home side have had mixed results on the continental stage so far, although they remain hopeful of automatic advancement to the last 16 of the competition.

They beat Slavia Praha 2-1 last time out in the competition, falling behind after just seven minutes before Edin Dzeko and former sevilla man Youssef En-Nesyri got on the scoresheet in either half to secure the points for Jose Mourinho's men.

Athletic Club, meanwhile, are in brilliant form at the moment and are well on course to advance to the knockout stages of the Europa League. They coasted to a 3-0 victory over Elfsborg last time out, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including 22-year-old defender Adama Boiro who netted his maiden goal for the club.

The visitors sit second in the table with 13 points from five matches. They are level on points with Lazio at the top of the pile and could leapfrog them with a win on Wednesday.
