A 0:3 loss in the first match in Istanbul makes Anderlecht's task for the rematch quite difficult. This was the team's third consecutive loss in the tournament. Overall, Anderlecht's form has not been the best lately, with two wins in the last six matches in all competitions. Seven years ago, they were eliminated by Fenerbahçe again, then after a 0:2 loss away and a 2:2 draw at home.
Fenerbahçe literally caught the last train to exit the group stage, but overall their form is good. With five consecutive wins in all competitions and 14 consecutive matches without a loss, they have confirmed their good performance with a classic victory in the first match, and it really doesn't seem like José Mourinho and company would squander their lead.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreAnderlecht has nothing to lose in the rematch and will have to look for goals in the match, which could open up chances for Fenerbahçe, and I think we will see goals in both nets.
