Fenerbahce Istanbul - Lyon: Form Analysis
Fenerbahce come into this contest in excellent form. They’ve won their last four matches on the trot and are boasting a 5-1-0 record in their last six games across all competitions.
In their last appearance, Jose Mourinho’s side cruised to a 4-0 away victory over Adana Demirspor in the Turkish Super Lig with all four goals coming in the final 20 minutes.
The 28-time Turkish champions have now scored 16 goals in their last six matches.
In the Europa League, Fenerbahce have struggled to string together a consistent run of victories. They’ve managed eight points from six fixtures with a 2-2-2 record and fell to a 2-0 home defeat to Athletic Club in their last appearance back in December.
Lyon have certainly impressed in this competition as they’ve amassed a 4-1-1 record. However, they’ll come into this fixture on a slight skid.
A 0-0 home draw with Toulouse at the weekend halted a two-match losing streak but extended their winless run to three games. One of those losses included a humiliating penalty shootout loss to fifth-division FC Bourgoin-Jallieu in the French Cup.
Lyon have, however, won their last two Europa League matches after a 3-2 home victory over Frankfurt in matchday five.

Fenerbahce Istanbul & Lyon Squad Analysis
Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho has three confirmed injuries for the visit of Lyon on Thursday.
Two defenders will be out of action as Rodrigo Becão and Jayden Oosterwolde are both recovering from ACL tears suffered at the end of 2024. Goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic will also miss out after tearing a thigh muscle earlier in the month.
The hosts have a deadly trio of Dzeko, En-Nesyri and Tadic spearheading the attack.
Dzeko and En-Nesyri have combined for a total of 29 goals already this season, while Tadic has chipped in nine goals and 12 assists in his 25 appearances.
For the visiting manager Pierre Sage, former Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette is listed as a doubt after picking up a muscle injury and missing out in the team’s goalless draw with Toulouse.
Left back Nico Tagliafico picked up his third yellow card in this Europa League campaign so will miss out here.
Rayan Cherki is having a standout season for the visitors and will command much of the attention from the Fenerbahce defense. The Frenchman has racked up two goals and four assists in his six Europa League appearances so far.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Lyon Prediction
Dropping points here could very well put Fenerbahce in a precarious position heading into the final matchday of the league phase. This is a golden opportunity to take advantage of their scintillating recent form and put a crucial three points on the board.
Lyon have hit something of a banana peel in recent weeks. They've managed only two wins from their last six which includes a very bad loss to a fifth-division side. With all that in mind, this looks a good spot to target a home win. Our Fenerbahce vs Lyon prediction: Fenerbahce wins the match.
