Fenerbahce will host Dynamo Kyiv at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium on Thursday evening in their UEFA Europa League opener.
The Turkish side began their Europa League campaign in the third round after getting knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers. They beat Czech side Slovacko 4-1 on aggregate in the third round before beating Austria Wien 6-1 on aggregate in the playoffs. Fenerbahce endured a tough Europa League group stage last season, winning just once.
Dynamo, meanwhile, also participated in the Champions League qualifiers, where they suffered a 5-0 aggregate defeat to Benfica in the playoffs. They have endured a sluggish start to their league campaign and will hope for better luck in the continent.
The visitors went winless in the continental last season and will hope to fare better this time.
