Fenerbahce vs Lyon Preview 


Lyon’s recent form has been poor, losing to a lower-division side Bourgain in the French Cup and won just one of their last four Ligue 1 clashes. Red-hot Fenerbahce are tipped to win.

  • Fenerbahce’s Youssef En-Nesyri has scored 5 goals in his last 4 matches.

Fenerbahce have locked horns against Lyon four times and lost all four encounters. 

The most recent one was in November 2004, Lyon winning 4-2 in the Champions League.

UEFA Champions League 25.09.2001 Fenerbahce 0-1 Lyon

Form 


Fenerbahce have been on red-hot run in 2025, claiming four consecutive victories and narrowing the gap from the Super Lig table leaders to just six points. 

They defeated Hatayspor 2-1, Kasimpasa 3-0 (Turkish Cup), Konyaspor 3-2, and most recently Adana Demirspor 4-0 last weekend, Youssef En-Nesyri scoring five goals in these encounters. 

As for their Europa League campaign, the Yellow Canaries sit in 21st place with eight points after six rounds (two wins, two draws, two defeats). 

In their most recent appearance, Jose Mourinho’s side suffered a 2-0 home loss to Athletic Bilbao in mid-December. 

Lyon had a decent start to 2025 by defeating Montpellier 1-0 in Ligue 1, but then hit a rough patch, failing to secure a single win in their last three games. 

After a 2-1 defeat at Brest, Les Gones were eliminated from the French Cup by a lower-division side Bourgoin on penalties, and failed to beat Toulouse at home last weekend (0-0). 

Pierre Sage’s side is doing good in the Europa League, occupying 4th place on table with 13 points from six matches. 

Team News 


Dominik Livakovic (muscle injury), Ismail Yuksek (groin injury), Rodrigo Becao (unknown) and Jayden Oosterwolde are sidelined for the Turkish side. 

Veteran Alexandre Lacazette is the only name on Lyon’s injury list, recovering from a muscle injury. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Fenerbahce: Egribayat, Djiku, Muldur, Mercan, Kostic, Fred, Kahveci, Szymanski, Aydin, Dzeko, En-Nesyri 

Lyon: Perri, Tagliafico, Mata, Niakhate, Kumbedi, Matic, Veretout, Tolisso, Cherki, Mikautadze, Benrahma 

Verdict

Lyon are winless for three games straight while losing their last two road contests in Ligue 1. I am backing Fenerbahce to earn their 5th consecutive win and in-form Youssef En-Nesyri to find the net.
