Command Analysis
Fenerbahce
TurkeyCurrent form
Fenerbahce assembled a more than competitive team for the Europa League and invited Jose Mourinho to the position of head coach – the Canaries were certainly not among the tournament’s main favourites, but they were quite capable of competing for a place in the top eight. The vice-champion of Turkey started with a difficult 2:1 victory over Union, then drew two games with Twente (1:1) and Manchester United (1:1).
Fenerbahce first defeat was quite sensational given such results - the Turks lost 1:3 to AZ away without much of a chance. They managed to rehabilitate themselves in Prague, where the Canaries beat Slavia 2:1, but in the last round they were again left without points, losing 0:2 to Atletico. Thus, Mourinho charges are only 21st in the table and are only one point ahead of 25th Braga.
In the Turkish championship, Fenerbahce certainly bet on the championship title, but made several mistakes during the first round. At the moment, the Canaries occupy second place in the table with 45 points and are six points behind Galatasaray, such a handicap still leaves a chance for success. Having beaten Adana Demirspor 4:0 in the last round, Fenerbahce secured their third victory in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Muldur disqualified. Livakovic, Bekao, Oosterwolde and Juksek are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fenerbahce has won its last four matches
- Fenerbahce have conceded in all three home matches of the Europa League
- Fenerbahce have scored in five of their six Europa League matches
Estimated line-up: Egribayat – Osayi-Samuel, Djiku, Soyuncu – Fred – Tadic, Shimanski, Kahveci, Under – En-Nesyri, Dzeko.
Lyon
FranceCurrent form
Lyon also approached the start of the Europa League as a clear contender for a playoff spot, but the team situation could not be stable, given the financial problems and the need to sell most of the key players, which was already partially realized in the winter. Despite all the problems, Pierre Saja team looks more than worthy on all fronts and started the Europa League with a confident 2:0 victory over Olympiacos.
After the 4-1 rout of Rangers in the second round, Lyon played a few unimpressive games, unexpectedly losing 0-1 at home to Besiktas and drawing 2-2 with Hoffenheim. In the last rounds, the weavers dealt with Karabakh (4-1) and Eintracht (3-2), managing to move up to fourth place in the table thanks to these six points, but they are only two points behind ninth-placed Tottenham.
In the French championship, Lyon could hardly have set itself more ambitious goals than fifth place and a ticket to the Europa League, but so far it has not coped with it. Based on the results of 18 rounds, the weavers occupy sixth place in the table and are one point behind fourth-placed Nice, and the Champions League zone is two points away, so theoretically there is still a chance to fight for it.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tagliafico is suspended. Lacazette is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lyon have not won in their last three matches – a defeat and two draws
- Lyon have conceded in two of their last three matches
- Lyon have scored in their last 12 away games
Estimated line-up: Perry – Maitland-Niles, Çaleta-Car, Niahate, A. Vinicius – Veretout, Matic, Tolisso – Cherki, Mikautadze, Fofana.

2.25Tip and bets
Fenerbahce is having a weak league stage and risks being left without a playoff spot – even one mistake could be a disaster. It is obvious that the Canaries will be looking to take all three points at home and secure a place in the 24th round, and theoretically there is even a chance to fight for eighth place. Lyon has recently slowed down again and no longer looks as solid as it did in the fall, so it makes sense to give preference to a motivated Fenerbahce in such a match, which is traditionally very strong at home.
We think that the guests have no chance. Betting Tip - Fenerbahce victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.15
Bet on total
Fenerbahce plays attacking football both in the Turkish Championship and in the Europa League - the Canaries have very high-level players ahead, today they only need a victory, Lyon is not distinguished by reliability in defense, it will be almost unrealistic for the visitors to remain without conceding goals. At the same time, the weavers are probably counting on securing a place in the top eight, there will also be plenty of motivation, they manage to score regularly away, the match will certainly be productive.
Bet - total over three goals. This bet is offered for 1.85
Combined rate
Fenerbahce today needs to take three points by any means and stay in the playoff zone, which is what the hosts will clearly strive for. In general, the task for the Canaries is quite feasible, Lyon has been disappointing lately and has lost its former form, it is quite possible to beat such an opponent on their home field. However, the weavers are unlikely to give away points, they play attacking football and are capable of catching Fenerbahce not very stable defense out of a mistake.
Bet - Fenerbahce win and both teams to score. This bet is offered for 3.45
