Lyon vs. Fenerbahce Odds
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.
