Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Chobani Stadium Fenerbahce Sukru Saracoglu when Fenerbahce and Lyon meet in the first leg of their Champions League playoff derby. The Turkish giants comfortably negotiated their double-header with Sturm, but they suffered a surprise 2-1 defeat to Genclerbirligi in their Super Lig opener. Fenerbahce have nevertheless been strong at home, winning 75% of their last four matches and averaging 2.25 goals per game. Star signing Mason Greenwood will be the main attacking threat, while Sofyan Amrabat, Caglar Soyuncu, and Romelu Lukaku are expected to miss out through injury.
Lyon, meanwhile, showed plenty of character in the previous qualifying round, coming from behind to eliminate Sparta Prague. The French side have won 50% of their last 10 games, although their away record is a major concern, with three defeats from three matches and just 0.67 goals scored per game. Lyon's recent games have also been extremely open, averaging 4.4 total goals per match, while BTTS landed in 60% of their last 10. Khalis Merah, Mads Bistrup, and Pavel Sulc are all sidelined.
Fenerbahce have won 75% of their last four home games, while Lyon have lost all three of their recent away matches. Therefore, our main prediction leans toward Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals total (Lyon matches have averaged 4.4 goals across their last 10, while Fenerbahce average 2.6).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 18 August 2026 at 20:00.
