Sevilla head into the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with Fenerbahce holding a commanding advantage from the first fixture.

The Spanish outfit ran out 2-0 victors on familiar territory to leave their Turkish hosts up against it at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Thursday evening.

Key battle: Fenerbahçe need goals and Enner Valencia scores them, netting an incredible 26 in 33 appearances this term, though only five of those were decisive in victory.

Marshalling him could be Sevilla’s Nemanja Gudelj who has collected three yellow cards from his last six appearances.

Hot stat: Fenerbahçe have lost nine of their ten clashes against Spanish opposition.

Fenerbahce 1-1 Sevilla FT

Given Sevilla’s away form this campaign, progression to the next round is unlikely to be a formality. Nevertheless, we would be surprised if the visitors do not score in Turkey, with a competitive draw the most likely outcome in our eyes.
