Aston Villa will be looking to immediately bounce back from their disappointing 0-1 Premier League defeat to Everton when they visit Turkish side Fenerbahce on Thursday evening. 

After winning five of their opening six Europa League games, Villa look all but assured of a place in the last 16 of the competition. However, their recent performances have been somewhat short of the high standards they set earlier in the season, so boss Unai Emery will be looking for some big improvements as his side embarks on a hectic run of fixtures. 

Fenerbahce have been in excellent form since the turn of the year, winning all four of their domestic games to move to within one point of leaders Galatasaray. In the Europa League, Fenerbahce have put together a five game unbeaten run, but are still two points outside of the automatic qualification places, so they will be looking for three points on Thursday to boost their hopes of avoiding the playoffs.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Aston Villa Prediction

The bookies are struggling to separate the two teams here, and we are inclined to agree with their assessment that this is a very tricky game to predict. 

So, rather than looking at the moneylines for the match, we are drawn towards the BTTS markets. 

Fenerbahce have been largely solid in defence over the last month, whilst Villa have struggled for attacking fluency. As such, we really like the chances of the Turkish side keeping a clean sheet on Thursday, which makes the odds of 2.30 against both teams scoring look very appealing. 

Our prediction for Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa is: Both teams to score - No. 

Prediction:
