Will FB continue their winning streak at home?

Fenerbahce Istanbul are back on the international stage. The canaries are in the last sixteen of the 2024/25 Europa League and will face Glasgow Rangers in the first leg this week. As the betting providers’ quotes make clear, José Mourinho’s team are favored at home. Our Fenerbahce v Glasgow Rangers betting tip is also aimed at a home win.

Not only the home advantage in the first leg, but also the form curve in recent weeks speaks in favor of the Turkish representative. Fenerbahce have not lost since their defeat to Bilbao in December 2024 – that’s 18 straight competitive games. In these 18 encounters, Fenerbahce celebrated a whopping 13 wins.

Last weekend, they had a successful dress rehearsal in the league game against Antalyaspor. With this victory, Fenerbahce also reduced the gap to league leaders Galatasaray. In contrast, Glasgow Rangers lost last weekend. Despite playing at home, they suffered a bitter league defeat against Motherwell FC.

Fenerbahce – Statistics & current form

Fenerbahce continue their winning streak – even without José Mourinho. The Portuguese was suspended by the Turkish Football Association after the incidents in the intercontinental derby against Galatasaray and was therefore not on the sidelines last weekend. Nevertheless, “The Special One’s” team won a comfortable league game against Antalyaspor.

Across all competitions, it was the 18th match in a row in which Fenerbahce Istanbul have now remained unbeaten. In these 18 matches, José Mourinho’s team recorded a record of 13-5-0 and impressed with a strong offensive performance. This was also the case in the last two competitive matches. The canaries scored a total of seven goals in these two encounters.

If they can keep up the momentum, the yellow-and-navy-blues could well put on an attacking show in the European Cup game against the Glasgow Rangers. It would be the sixth home win in a row for José Mourinho’s team. In the five previous encounters – including the home game against RSC Anderlecht – there were 20 goals for Fenerbahçe. So on average more than three goals per game.

Will the record against Scottish clubs be extended?

Fenerbahce will also face a club from Scotland for the fifth time in the club’s history. The “Sari Kanaryalar” have never lost to a Scottish club and have a record of 1-3-0 in their four previous meetings. The match against Glasgow Rangers will be the third encounter against the Scottish heavyweight. In the two previous matches, there was one win and one draw.

If you are inclined to predict a victory for Fenerbahce this time as well, you can get decent odds of around 1.60 for a Fenerbahce v Glasgow Rangers tip on the Turkish hosts. Winamax, among others, offers these odds. Betting fans who have not yet registered with this betting provider can also take advantage of the Winamax new customer bonus.

José Mourinho has to do without a number of players in the squad due to injury. There are currently five players in the Canary Birds’ hospital. Compared to the team that played against Antalyaspor at the weekend, only minimal changes are expected in the “Sari Kanaryalar”. Youssef En-Nesyri is the top scorer for FB in international competition with six goals and is also a contender to score against Glasgow Rangers.

Glasgow Rangers – statistics & current form

Glasgow Rangers have qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa League as one of the eight best teams from the main round. The Scottish club’s next game on the international stage will be their first since beating Union SG in January 2025. However, the encounter against Fenerbahce comes at an inopportune moment.

In the last five competitive games, Rangers have suffered three defeats, most recently last weekend against Motherwell FC. The second-placed team lost the game 2-1 despite home advantage, and thus continues to lag behind expectations in the domestic league under the management of interim coach Barry Ferguson.

In the European Cup, on the other hand, Rangers FC had a solid season and only lost two matches in the main round of the 2024/25 Europa League. The statistics from the league phase should also be underpinned in the knockout phase. Betting on a victory for Glasgow Rangers involves a lot of risk, especially in the first leg away from home.

Will Rangers continue their winning streak on foreign soil?

In opposing stadiums, Barry Ferguson’s team recently scored three consecutive wins. However, their record in the last nine competitive games away from home is modest. During this period, Rangers FC have a record of 3-3-3. However, if you still want to bet on the Scottish guests at Fenerbahce vs. Glasgow Rangers, you can use a free bet without a deposit and thus minimize your own risk.

Incidentally, Rangers have only won once in four away games against Turkish clubs. That victory was against MKE Ankaragücü. In Istanbul, on the other hand, Rangers have suffered two defeats in two meetings – against Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. It is quite possible that the record will deteriorate further this week.

Barry Ferguson is expected to be without only Neraysho Kasanwirjo due to injury in the first leg. Otherwise, the visitors have been spared from major personnel concerns and will be able to field their strongest possible lineup for this match.

Fenerbahce – Glasgow Rangers Head to head / H2H record

Fenerbahce and Glasgow Rangers meet for the third time. The canaries remained unbeaten in the two previous encounters. Both matches were in the 2001/02 Champions League qualifiers.

Fenerbahce – Glasgow Rangers Tip

In the Europa League round of 32, Fenerbahce Istanbul easily beat RSC Anderlecht to advance to the round of 16 of the European Cup. With Glasgow Rangers, José Mourinho’s team took the next feasible hurdle and is already favored in the first leg at home.

Considering how weak the Glasgow Rangers have been recently, it makes sense to bet on a win for the “Sari Kanaryalar” in the upcoming encounter. In their last five competitive matches, the Scottish club have lost three times, including the dress rehearsal against Motherwell FC before the upcoming game in Istanbul.
