In the last 1 meetings, Fenerbahce Istanbul have 0W 1D 0L against Lyon. Total goals 0 (0-0); both teams scored in 0 of 1.
Fenerbahce bring the cleaner recent profile into Istanbul. They have matched Lyon for scoring output over the last five at 1.2 goals per game, but the defensive split is much wider: 0.6 conceded for the home side against 1.6 for the visitors. That gap matters when the outright prices already place Fenerbahce as slight favourites.
The current team sheet lists Nathan Ake, Milan Skriniar and N'Golo Kante for Fenerbahce, with Talisca, Marco Asensio and Mason Greenwood also included. Lyon's listed side includes Lois Openda, Ernest Nuamah and Malick Fofana, yet the away squad goes in with Mads Bidstrup, Pavel Sulc and Khalis Merah on the injured list. Add Lyon's 2W-3L return from the last five and the home case becomes stronger.
Fenerbahce's stronger recent record and tighter defending make them the better pick here - Fenerbahce to win, Expected score: 2-1.
