Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Our prediction is: Draw
There is a significant gap in class and quality between Fenerbahçe and Lyon, which is all too clear in their recent statistics and performances. But despite this disparity, our betting tip is to take the draw on the 1X2 market.
Lyon has shown signs of promise in their past performances, enough to convince us that they can indeed take a point from their much stronger opponents in their upcoming matchup.
👉 Prediction: Lyon to Win the First Half
Despite playing away at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, Lyon has the quality to put Fenerbahçe under pressure early on. They are a dangerous side that usually starts matches strongly.
We see solid value in betting on Lyon to win the first half at odds of 3.66.
