The Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium will be deafening on Thursday night as Fenerbache welcome Premier League side Nottingham Forest in this UEFA Europa League play-off first leg.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Europa League odds and betting angles for this play-off fixture:

Fenerbache v Nottingham Forest – Thursday, 5.45pm

Punters can bet on Fenerbache v Nottingham Forest with William Hill

• Fenerbache return to familiar surroundings having won 3-2 at Trabzonspor on Saturday in their domestic campaign, they remain three points off the top as they hunt down their 20th domestic league title.
• On the European stage, Fener have won just one of their last five games in this competition and their last defeat here at home game against another Premier League side in Aston Villa but they’ve lost just two of their sixteen home games this season, there’s definitely huge value in Fenerbache to win this at 6/5 with William Hill.
• The Turkish side have never lost back-to-back UEL home games whilst just one defeat in 2026 for Domenico Tedesco’s side should fill them with confidence of getting a result to take over to England next week.
  ——————————–
• It’s been all change for Nottingham Forest since last weekend, a goalless draw with bottom of the table Wolves in the Premier League was enough for Sean Dyche to be relived of his duties as the Forest manager, Vitor Pereira is the new man in charge as Nottingham Forest become the first club in Premier League history to have four different managers in the same season.
• I’m really not sure about this appointment given Vitor Pereira is the man that played his part in Wolves’ dismal campaign thus far, an opening away game at Fenerbache is a tough ask for the Tricky Trees but they are priced at 21/10 with William Hill to hit the ground running and get the win.
• Forest have really struggled on the road so far this season in all competitions, with just five wins from their nineteen games whilst they lost their last UEL away trip at Braga 1-0, i think this one might be a struggle for Pereira and co.

Prediction: Fenerbache To Win (6/5), Fenerbache 2-1 Nottingham Forest (8/1).
