Fenerbahce vs Stuttgart prediction: EUROPE: Europa League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-22 16:45.
[p]Fenerbahçe return to UEFA Europa League (UEL) action to face a Stuttgart side who boast an identical record to them after matchday two (W1, L1). [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fenerbahçe responded well to their opening-round setback against Dinamo Zagreb (3-1) by grinding out a vital 2-1 home win over Nice earlier this month. That victory against Nice sparked a three-match winning home run for the Turkish side, with the third win in that run coming at the weekend as they downed Karagumruk 2-1. Their uptick at home is part of a wider run of just one defeat across nine matches in all competitions (W5, D3), and building upon that run at home, where they’ve lost just three of their last 25 European games (W17, D5), seems highly likely.[/p]
[p]With five wins from their last six games in all competitions (L1), Stuttgart can lay claim to coming into this game in fine form, but their one loss coming in this competition on matchday two should serve as a note of caution. Sebastian Hoeneß’s side opened the league phase with a 2-1 home win over Celta Vigo, but fell flat in a 2-0 defeat at Basel last time out. European struggles are nothing new for the Swabians, who have kept just one clean sheet in their past 12 continental matches, but winning their last two domestic games whilst shutting their opposition out should raise hopes of improving that record here. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This will be the first-ever meeting between Fenerbahçe and Stuttgart. The Turkish giants have won just one of 13 previous encounters against German opposition (D4, L8), although four of the last six UEL meetings between German and Turkish clubs have ended all square.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Fenerbahçe have scored exactly two goals in four successive home matches. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Talisca assisted Fenerbahçe’s first goal against Nice and has now been involved in six goals in his last five UEL starts (G2, A4). Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller played a role in all his side’s goals at the weekend (G1, A2) and is joint-top for chances created in the UEL this season (10). [/p]
[p]Fenerbahçe look to have no new fresh injury issues, but Stuttgart will be sweating on Tiago Tomas who was forced off at the weekend. [/p]
