Fenerbahce host Lyon in Champions League qualifying

Recent form

Fenerbahce have won three of their last five matches, drawing one and losing one. That run includes victories over STG in both meetings and a win against GOR, though their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to GEN. Lyon arrive with a less settled recent record: two wins and three defeats from their last five. They beat SPP 3-0 in their most recent match after losing 2-1 to the same opponents the week before, but earlier results include defeats to RCL and TOU.

Past meetings

The head-to-head record favours Lyon heavily. The five meetings between the clubs produced 15 goals, and Fenerbahce have not won any of them — four defeats and a goalless draw in January 2025. Three of those losses came by two clear goals, including a 2-4 reverse in November 2004 and 3-1 defeats in October 2004 and October 2001. The most recent encounter finished 0-0, the only one of the five in which Fenerbahce avoided conceding.
