Fenerbahçe aim to double up on 'Gladbach

Fenerbahçe SK will look to end their UEFA Europa League Group C campaign on a high as VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach head for Istanbul with both sides' places in the round of 32 already secured.

Group C permutations
• Fenerbahçe SK have qualified as group winners.

• VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach are through as runners-up due to their head-to-head superiority over Marseille.

• Marseille and AEL are out.

Previous meetings
• Fenerbahçe secured their first win against a German side on matchday two, winning 4-2 as Mönchengladbach's first meeting with a Turkish side ended badly. After the hosts took an 18th-minute lead through Luuk de Jong, a sublime Cristian free-kick and Raul Meireles' drive gave the visitors a half-time advantage. Dirk Kuyt added a third 19 minutes from time, and although Igor De Camargo pulled one back just three minutes later, Cristian's late strike clinched it.

• Fenerbahçe's ten games against German teams have ended W1 D2 L7 (W0 D2 L3 in Istanbul – W1 D0 L4 in Germany). They have drawn their last two home games against German teams.

Match background
• Fenerbahçe are on a four-game winning streak in Group C and have not conceded in their last three European games.

• The Yellow Canaries are unbeaten in five European home games – four draws followed by a win against AEL Limassol FC on matchday four.

• The Istanbul side, FC Rubin Kazan, FC Metalist Kharkiv and Olympique Lyonnais share the best record in this season's group stage, with 13 points each going into matchday six.

• Mönchengladbach are unbeaten in five European away games: three wins followed by two Group C draws.
