| These two teams are neighbours in the table as the visitors are still unable to unleash their full potential. Fenerbahce usually fail to live up to their role as favorites and to make matters worse, striker Jhon Duran is suspended on Thursday. Since Brann Bergen has also recorded the most clean sheets of all participants in the league phase so far this season, it is quite possible to have some zeros in the final score. Including the qualifying phase, the Norwegians have won each of their last three home games, even beating none other than the Rangers. The guests can consider themselves lucky if they manage to score at all on Thursday in the far north. Brann and Fenerbahce have never met before in European competitions. All six of Brann's goals in this Europa League season have come from inside the penalty area. |
