Norway's Brann and Turkey's Fenerbahçe will face off on Thursday in the sixth round of the Europa League in Norway. Before Thursday's matches, these teams were in 19th and 20th place in the Europa League, both in qualifying positions, with identical records of six points each.
In their last European match, Brann, thanks to a dramatic 89th-minute goal from Kornvig, held on for a draw against PAOK in Greece. This result was especially valuable, as the Greek Super League club had been favored at odds of 1.59 to beat Brann. Following that draw, Brann played their final match of the Norwegian Eliteserien season, the 30th round, at home, finishing fourth and securing a place in the Conference League for the 2026/2027 season.
The Turkish side Fenerbahçe, with more experience in the competition, is the favorite to win away on Thursday. Their odds are around 2.15. This reflects Fenerbahçe's excellent run of form. Despite drawing three consecutive 1-1 matches in their last three games, since Domenico Tedesco took over as manager, they have only lost one match since then, with eight wins and seven draws. That single defeat for the Istanbul club came earlier in the season in the Europa League against Dinamo Zagreb, but since then, Fenerbahçe has gone 13 matches unbeaten.
However, it's true that Fenerbahçe struggles to win away from home in Europe; this year they played four away matches between the Champions League qualifiers and the Europa League, losing three, including against Benfica and Feyenoord in August.

Our SK Brann vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
In matchdays 4 and 5 of the Europa League, both Brann and Fenerbahçe were involved in continental encounters that saw fewer than 2.5 goals. Should they fail to control possession, as could well happen on Thursday, Fenerbahçe might resort to fouling; in fact, they received as many as 22 yellow cards in the first five Europa League matches.
The scenario could result in a game of tight defenses. Furthermore, Fenerbahçe has only visited Norway once before, while Brann has never faced a Turkish club in its history.
Our prediction for Fenerbahçe vs Brann is: Under 2.5.
