Emenike Targets Krasnodar Fall

By Augustine Akhilomen

Retired Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike will seek to qualify Fenerbache to the next round of the Europa League second leg as they welcome Krasnodar at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

The Nigerian international was not at his best mettle in the first leg as the team lost 1-0 to Krasnodar last week, however, the team need to overturn the one goal deficit in order to book a place in the round of 16.

Fenerbache have won one of their last five games in all competitions and they have suffered losses in two of those games. Most of the negative results have come away from home as the team are unbeaten in seven at home in all competitions.

This will be Krasnodar’s first game on Turkish soil, the first leg was their first ever game against a Turkish club. The Istanbul side have not lost a home game against any Russian opponents, having won 2 out of their previous 3 home games and drawn once.
