Fenerbahce vs Roma Tips & Predictions – Away Win is Tipped in the Champions League
Roma have hit the ground running this season, securing victories in all three league matches and consistently manufacturing a wealth of scoring opportunities. With Fenerbahce struggling for consistency, Roma are clear favorites for their upcoming clash. Additionally, with Donyel Mallen in top form as Serie A's leading scorer, he is recommended as a strong pick to score again. The key takeaway: back Roma to win and expect Mallen to make an impact on the scoresheet.

This Will be Their Second H2H Match
Fenerbahce and Roma locked horns in a friendly match in August 2014, the game ended in a 3-3 draw.
Fenerbahce Not Looking Great in Turkey
This is the first UCL group stage appearance for Fenerbahce since 2009 and they had to eliminate three teams to reach it (Gornik Zabrze 2-1, Sturm Graz 3-0 and Lyon 3-2 on aggregate).
The Yellow Canaries are not playing that great in the Super Lig though, starting the new campaign with a 2-1 road loss to Genclerbirligi, followed by two straight wins over Konyaspor 4-2 and Samsunspor 2-0.
Another setback was recorded last weekend in the Istanbul derby, losing at home to Besiktas 2-1 where they gained an early lead through Milan Skriniar. This was probably the worst performance this season for Ismail Kartal's side, posting just 0.59 xG.
Roma's Confidence is High
Roma are off to a fantastic start in Serie A, claiming three victories in three matches and currently hold top of the table with an impressive 10-1 goal difference.
They crushed Fiorentina 4-0 in the opening round, posting 3.07-0.35 expected goals where Donyell Malen stole the spotlight after scoring three times.
He scored a brace in the second round against Lecce where Roma won 4-0, while Giallorossi pulled a big comeback to beat Atalanta 2-1 last weekend, scoring twice in stoppage time.

Lorenzo Pellegrini remaining a doubt due to a hip strain and he is the only injury concern for the visitors. Donyell Malen (five goals) and Paulo Dybala (four assists) are having a great start to the new season.

Verdict
Roma not only won all three league games this season but created an absurd number of chances. I will back them to beat inconsistent Fenerbahce and Donyel Mallen (leading Serie A scorer) to find the net.
