Aston Villa’s impressive form in Europe could lift them against a confident Fenerbahce on matchday two of the league phase in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). This match on Wednesday at the Villa Park in Birmingham between the 9th-placed ‘Villans’ and the 19th-placed ‘Yellow Canaries’ could be a big challenge for the visitors, but will the hosts continue their impressive record?
Villa have three points from their 3-2 win on matchday one at Club Brugge and seem to have turned their season around in recent weeks. That said, their form in the English Premier League has been well below par, although Europe seems to bring the best out of Villa.
Fenerbahce started with a 1-1 home draw against Roma on matchday one and are coming off consecutive wins. That doesn’t guarantee success, especially as they have struggled against English opposition. Will the narrative change in this fixture? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Aston Villa - Fenerbahce Istanbul: Form Analysis
Villa could only draw 2-2 at home against Brentford last weekend to remain in the bottom half of the EPL standings. The Villans had won three of their previous four games before this stalemate, so getting back to winning ways will be a priority.
One of those victories came in the UCL, when they edged Club Brugge 3-2 away from home. That was a 14th win for Villa in their last 16 major European matches (L2), a clear indicator of their ability to step up in Europe.
Villa have won each of their last ten European home fixtures.
Fenerbahce won 3-0 away at Rizespor in the Turkish Super Lig at the weekend, making it three wins in a row, including a friendly. They have now gone unbeaten in four competitive games (W2, D2), including three consecutive clean sheets.
The Yellow Canaries have a poor record in the UCL competition proper, which they hope will change here. Fenerbahce have failed to win any of their last eight UCL games excluding qualifiers (D3, L5), and that could hinder their chances here.

Aston Villa & Fenerbahce Istanbul Squad Analysis
Matteo Ruggeri could be doubtful for Villa after picking up an injury at the weekend against Brentford. Ian Maatsen also remains out of contention, while George Hemmings is also a doubt.
The hosts could stick to their 4-2-3-1 formation with Nicolas Jackson set to lead the line. The striker scored at the weekend and now has three in his last five for the club, including against Club Brugge on matchday one.
Villa’s John McGinn had seven goals in his last ten European starts.
For the visitors, Matteo Guendouzi is out, serving a red-card suspension. Mert Muldur could also be out of contention, having missed Fenerbahce’s last three fixtures.
The Turkish visitors are likely to stick to their 4-2-3-1 system with former Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood set to start on the right wing; he has six goals and four assists. Vedat Muriqi is likely to start as their lone striker, looking to add to his count of seven goals this season.

Our Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
Aston Villa come into this match with their domestic fortunes uncertain. A draw at the weekend keeps them in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but European competitions brought inspired performances from them. Fenerbahce are in the midst of an impressive run and can be a dangerous opponent, although lack of wins in the competition proper is a challenge.
The teams played in the Europa League in January in Turkey, when Villa won 1-0. That may not be the case this time, at least in terms of goals, with our Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Istanbul prediction being BTTS.
Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Alternative Predictions
Aston Villa wins
Villa have won 12 of their last 14 European matches (L2) and have won each of their last ten at home in UEFA competitions. That aside, Fenerbahce have lost five of their last eight matches in the UCL, excluding qualifiers. That run could continue in this fixture.
John McGinn Anytime Goalscorer
John McGinn has scored at the weekend for Villa, while he also netted against Club Brugge on matchday one. That was a seventh goal for McGinn in his last ten starts in UEFA competitions. Can he add to that count here?
