Fenerbahce will look to finish off their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie against Sturm Graz in Austria after taking a 2-0 advantage from the first leg in Istanbul.
Fenerbahce will face Austrian side Sturm Graz away in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie, aiming to move one step closer to the competition's league phase.
The match will take place at Liebenau Stadium in Graz and kick off at 9:30 p.m. Türkiye time.
Spanish referee Alejandro Hernandez will oversee the match, assisted by Jose Naranjo and Marcos Cerdan Aguilar.
The Istanbul club head into the return leg with a 2-0 advantage after winning the opening match in Kadikoy, meaning a victory, a draw or even a one-goal defeat would be enough to send them through to the play-off round.
Should Sturm Graz win by two goals, the tie would move into extra time. A victory for the Austrian side by a margin greater than two goals would knock Fenerbahce out of Champions League qualifying and send them into the UEFA Europa League.
If Fenerbahce make it through, they will face either French side Olympique Lyon or Czech club Sparta Prague in the play-off round for a place in the league phase.
Fenerbahce will have only one player unavailable for the match, with Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde set to miss out after picking up an injury in the first leg.
The likely starting XI is Mert Gunok, Nelson Semedo, Milan Skriniar, Nathan Ake, Archie Brown, Matteo Guendouzi, N'Golo Kante, Mason Greenwood, Marco Asensio, Kerem Akturkoglu and Anderson Talisca.
Fenerbahce's UEFA squad also includes Tarik Cetin, Ederson, Caglar Soyuncu, Yigit Efe Demir, Mert Muldur, Ismail Yuksek, Fred, Irfan Can Kahveci, Oguz Aydin, Vedat Muric, Anthony Musaba and Sidiki Cherif.
