Feyenoord enter the qualification stage of the Champions League following their third-place finish in the Eredivisie last season. Last season, Feyenoord came 19th in the league phase, before knocking out AC Milan, then falling short Inter Milan in the last 16.
Fenerbahçe meanwhile, fell short of Galatasaray once again, coming second in the Turkish league. Fenerbahçe lost at this stage of qualifying last year, to LOSC Lille over two legs.
Of course, these sides operate in completely different countries, therefore have not met often historically. There have been just three matches in this fixture.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Feyenoord to Win @ 2.02 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a home victory in this fixture. Recent head-to-head and form suggest confidence in a Feyenoord victory.
Quinten Timber (Feyenoord): When he isn’t injured, Timber is definitely one to keep an eye on. The midfielder had an excellent year last season, making 2 tackles per 90, and recovering the ball 3.2 times per game, as well as chipping in with six league goals.
Youssef En-Nesyri (Fenerbahçe): We believe the Moroccan will get the nod over Jhon Duran for this game, following the former’s crucial contributions last season, with his 20 goals in the league and six in Europe key to their respective performances as they look to improve this campaign.
Referee: Glenn Nyberg (SWE). In the Swedish officials 413-match long career, he has handed out 3 yellow cards per game, as well as 0.1 red cards per match.
Stadium Information: De Kuip is located in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and it can hold over 51,000 supporters. The stadium has hosted 343 games since opening, including national team games. Over 1,000 goals have been scored in its time, with the home side winning 62% of the time.
