Aston Villa vs. Fenerbahce Odds
Game Preview
Since the campaign began, Aston Villa has posted only one clean sheet. This is uncharacteristic for Emery, and the team’s defensive woes showed in Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Brentford.
Though, the good thing is that the attack woke up. Villa scored 8 goals in the past three events. Nicolas Jackson is still searching for himself, having delivered three goals so far. Josh McGinn has two, but with 3 assists.
Fener played 14 games this season because it had to start the UCL qualifiers back in July. So far, the Turks have recorded just two losses and are undefeated in their past 5 appearances.
They opened the Champions League campaign at home against Roma, finishing 1-1. Ismail Kartal’s unit showed two faces in that match, playing much better in the second half than in the opening 45 minutes.
Aston Villa vs. Fenerbahce Head to Head
Villa defeated Fenerbahce less than 9 months ago, when they faced one another in the Europa League league phase. Jadon Sancho scored the only goal in Istanbul to bring a 0-1 triumph.
Aston Villa vs. Fenerbahce Predictions
Before we start the analysis, we have to say that Turkish teams play significantly worse on the road than at home. That is the first reason to back Villa. Second, Emery’s team is on the rise, and its attack is hot, therefore, we pick the Villains here.
