The very first game of the sixth round of the Europa League will pit Fenerbahce against the in-form Athletic Bilbao. Eight points from five matches place Fenerbahce 15th in the league phase standings while Athletic Bilbao are second with 13 points. Read on for our prediction of this match.
With 12 wins in 15 matches at home in Europe, Fenerbahce will feel confident going into this game. The hosts are coming from a high-profile domestic league game where they lost 1-0 to Besiktas.
That result halted a four-match winning run, among them being a 2-1 win over Slavia Prague in the last round.
Athletic Bilbao are doing well in many spheres of their season. They come into this game as one of the three joint leaders in the standings and are among the few teams yet to lose. The Spaniards will go into this game from a 2-0 win against Villarreal in La Liga.
That saw them leap into fourth with a six-point buffer on Villarreal. It also marked a run of five straight wins for Athletic Bilbao, who are now unbeaten in 11 matches across all competitions.
Among the teams they’ve beaten in this run, is Real Madrid. In the Europa League, they are on four straight wins after their opening draw with AS Roma.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Fenerbahce have their home honor to protect even as they face in-form Athletic Bilbao. This will not be an easy task, looking at their visitors’ recent run of form but Fenerbahce have also been solid at home in Europa League. Athletic Bilbao have only dropped points once in the Europa League this season.
That was in their first away match, making it four in nine away Europa League matches that ended in draws. Despite carrying a good run to this game, Athletic Bilbao have struggled a bit on the road. By these numbers, our Fenerbahce v Athletic Bilbao prediction is for the game to end in a draw.
