The UEFA Europa League has entered the last 32 and the first match of this round presents a match between Fenerbahce who gets the chance to play as the host first hosts Zenit St.Petersburg at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. This match also became the first meeting match for them in history.

Fenerbahce themselves in their last match swallowed a narrow 1-0 defeat when they visited Kayserispor headquarters, the result was clearly embarrassing because initially Fenerbahce 2 previous matches got a winning result in a row over Yeni Malatyaspor and Goztepe but unfortunately failed to continue their good performance. Fenerbahce continues to fight in the bottom of the Turkish superliga standings

For Zenit St. Petersburg, they are still in the half-season pause phase and thus make the visitors have to do a lot of trials or friendly matches in preparation for Fenerbahce. Zenit St. Petersburg played 6 friendlies, then from the 6 matches they got 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

As a whole, Fenerbahce’s performances are very disappointing, they are arguably no longer the top teams in the domestic league. While for Zenit St.Petersburg is still one of the best teams and is the most favorite team for champions, the visitors lead the top of the Russian Premier League. So it seems reasonable if Zenit St. Petersburg gets more trust to win.
