Game Preview

Lyon beat Toulouse on the road, 0-2, in the opening match of the Ligue 1 championship. It proved the solid form of Paulo Fonseca’s crew, who previously withstood pressure in Istanbul and now have a positive result at home.

Just to remind that Lyon beat Sparta 3-0 at home in the previous UCL round, after losing in Prague 2-1.

Fener hosted Konyaspor over the weekend, winning 4-2. Mason Greenwood took the spotlight, netting twice, while Vedad Muriqi and Marco Asensio scored a goal each.

The team looked much better overall, and this victory surely boosted morale ahead of the trip to France. Fenerbahce wasn’t that confident in previous matches, which is why this result means so much to them.

Lyon vs. Fenerbahce Head to Head

As stated, the first meeting in Istanbul ended 1-1. Lyon took the lead through Lois Openda, who netted in the 40th minute, while Mason Greenwood leveled the score following Akturkoglu’s assist.

Lyon vs. Fenerbahce Predictions

The French team is the favorite, and we are picking them to win. Over the past few years, Lyon has been a tough nut to crack at home, and much tougher teams than Fener have lost here.
