In their last continental visit, the Turkish side Fenerbahçe managed to score against Brann in Norway. This was by far the Turkish Super League team's most entertaining Europa League match this year, a team that typically fields a tight defense and commits numerous fouls. Fenerbahçe faced Aston Villa in their most recent Europa League campaign and lost by a single goal in Istanbul, although statistics suggest they put the Premier League side under pressure. The Turkish team travels to Romania to face FCSB Bucharest, with Fenerbahçe in a peculiar position, far from contention for a top-eight finish but confident enough to know that even a loss in Bucharest would not eliminate them.This FCSB Bucharest-Fenerbahçe match will be marked by a long list of absences on both sides. Slovenian defender Skriniar will miss the Turkish team due to yellow card accumulation. However, he is just one of nine players unavailable. The Romanian team faces a much worse situation, with eight players injured, including Israeli defender Ofri Arad.
FCSB Bucharest's chances of qualifying are minimal; they depend on winning and a lot of luck with other results. They deserve to be in this position going into the final matchday, having conceded 15 goals, the second-worst defense in the Europa League.

Our FCSB vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
The current two-time Romanian league champions are in serious trouble in the domestic league. They are currently 11th in the 16-team table and it looks like they will be fighting in the relegation zone this year, not the championship group. Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe is locked in a fierce battle with Galatasaray for the top spot in the Turkish league.
On Sunday, Fenerbahçe's promising Malian striker found the back of the net for the first time since November 9th and played a decisive match, which is encouraging as his team needs him now more than ever.
Our prediction for FCSB Bucharest vs Fenerbahçe is: Both teams not to score.
