Austria Vienna vs Fenerbahce – There is no doubt that the matchup between Austria Vienna and Fenerbahce will be one of the most anticipated in the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals.
Thursday night in Vienna at the Generali Arena will host the first leg of the series. The home team will be trying to put behind them their sluggish start to the new Bundesliga season and put all of their energy on a successful run in the European competition.
The lack of attention to detail in the defensive line is a major concern for Austrian manager Manfred Schmid. With just one win, one tie, and two losses through the first four rounds of the Bundesliga season, Austria Vienna finds themselves at the bottom of the rankings.
Notably, the league docked them three points to start the season. On Saturday, they finally broke through for their first victory of the domestic season, a 2-1 triumph over WSG Tirol in front of their home fans.
Yet again, the squad let in at least one goal, as they have in each of their four league games so far this season. Good news for Schmid and his players is that their adversaries, Fenerbahce, have not started the 2022–23 season much better defensively themselves.
A 3-3 home draw with newly promoted Umraniyespor was an unexpected start to the new Super Lig season for the Turkish heavyweights. As a result of a 1-2 aggregate loss to Dynamo Kyiv, Fener was previously ousted from the UEFA Champions League.
Afterward, in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, they annihilated Czech team Slovacko 4-1 on aggregate, largely due to a 3-0 triumph in front of their home crowd.
