Fenerbahce vs Bodrumspor

Match preview

Fenerbahce had to come back from an early deficit to tie Manchester United at 1-1 in the Europa League match on Thursday at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands for getting pretty heated when Manuel Ugarte and Bright Osayi-Samuel collided in the box. The referee didn't give the Yellow Canaries a penalty, which was a bit of a bummer.

This marks the third consecutive draw for Fenerbahce across all competitions. They previously played to a 1-1 tie with Twente in the Europa League and a 2-2 draw with Samsunspor in the Super Lig last weekend.

The Yellow Canaries conceded a goal in the 88th minute, which drew the game. This has left them eight points behind league leaders Galatasaray, with 17 points, which has put them in fourth place.

Fenerbahce knows it's crucial to get as many points as possible in what will be the first-ever meeting with Bodrum. Otherwise, the challenge of catching Galatasaray will be even more daunting.

Bodrum has now gone two games without a win after losing 1-0 to Caykur Rizespor. This is the third time this season they've lost at home by the same score.

However, another big issue for manager Ismet Tasdemir is that his team hasn't scored in two consecutive matches for the second time this season.

Bodrum fell to 12th place with 10 points from nine matches, four ahead of Gaziantep, who are in the relegation zone.

This will be the biggest challenge yet for Tasdemir's team. They've been on a roll lately, winning and drawing in their last two away games after losing the first two on the road.
