Fenerbahce will host Olympiacos at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Thursday in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League campaign.
The home side are enjoying a strong run of form in their league assignments and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the continental stage this week. They beat Karagumruk 2-1 last time out in the Super Lig, finding themselves a goal down at the break before Edin Dzeko and Michy Batshuayi netted a quickfire double early in the second half to hand the Yellow Canaries maximum points.
Olympiacos have also performed well in their domestic duties but remain on the hunt for continental glory. They started the first leg clash on home turf in brilliant fashion, racing to a three-goal lead via strikes from Kostas Fortounis, Stevan Jovetic and Chiquinho before they netted twice in the second half to set up a tantalizing rerun leg this Thursday.
While Fenerbahce must now win on home turf to advance, their opponents only need to avoid defeat this week to secure their first-ever semifinal appearance in a European tournament.
