Fenerbahce

The campaign is not going well for Fenerbahçe. Not only in the Turkish Super League, where Galatasaray dominate, but also in the Europa League. Jose Mourinho has problems here as well - in six rounds his wards have only two wins with two draws and two defeats. So with eight points in the asset they are in 21st position in the table, even at the risk of not getting into the playoffs. Ahead of the match, Fenerbahçe made it four wins in a row, and the previous day in the Turkish championship beat Adana Demirspor 4:0.

Lyon

Lyon is doing satisfactorily in Ligue 1, but in the Europa League, the team is simply awesome. Here the Lions are jumping above their heads because for six rounds, they managed to register four wins with one draw and only one defeat. With 13 points in the asset they are fourth in the standings, which means they have an excellent chance to go directly to the round of 16 of the tournament. It is noteworthy that before this battle,e Lyon looked poor - a defeat to Brest (1:2), the departure from the French Cup from a modest amateur club and a dismal 0:0 with Toulouse.

H2H Meetings

Expert Betting Tips

We believe that Lyon should not be written off in this match. Still, Fenerbahçe have problems this season, and even Jose Mourinho is not doing a great job here. At the same time, they must perform well in Istanbul - the tournament position is very weak, and there is no doubt about their goals. Lions even in the current Europa League scoring average of 2.5 goals per game - only Galatasaray score more. We think that the French club will not leave Turkey empty-handed, so we suggest betting on the exchange of goals and classic total over (2.5).
