A struggling Fenerbahce will hope the presence of former Liverpool legend Dirk Kuyt in their dugout will lift the club on matchday three of the league phase of the UEFA Champions League (UCL). This match on Wednesday in Istanbul between the 31st-placed ‘Yellow Canaries’ and the 3rd-placed Liverpool could witness an improved home performance.
One of the six teams yet to win in the league phase this term, Fenerbahce (D2, L1) need to move up the table swiftly. Liverpool are one five teams yet to drop a point (W3) in the league phase. With such contrast in forms leading up to this matchday, the stakes have only increased for the hosts.
The Turks have drawn two of their matches in the UCL this league phase campaign, but both have come at home. That may be the ray of hope for Fenerbahce, but is it enough to hold fort against a free-scoring Liverpool? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Fenerbahce Istanbul - Liverpool: Form Analysis
Fenerbahce lost 2-1 at home to Goztepe at the weekend in the Turkish Super Lig under Kuyt’s first match as interim manager. That defeat was preceded by a 2-1 loss away at Galatasaray, and they come into this match with only one win from five matches (D1, L3).
The Yellow Canaries have drawn 2-2 at home against Slavia Prague last matchday, but a 6-0 away defeat at Aston Villa on the previous matchday underlines their struggles this season.
Fenerbahce are winless in their last ten UCL games (D4, L6).
Liverpool are also coming off a defeat, a 1-0 loss at home to Arsenal in the English Premier League. That was preceded by five consecutive victories, so the Reds are likely to treat that loss as a minor blip.
The visitors edged Villarreal 4-3 at home on matchday three, while wins against LASK (6-3 away) and Atletico Madrid (2-1 home) make them one of the strongest teams in this season’s league phase.

Fenerbahce Istanbul & Liverpool Squad Analysis
The hosts could miss Mason Greenwood, who’s down with flu. Marco Asensio and Nathan Ake are set to miss the match, making them the only high-profile absences for the Turks. Greenwood’s seven goals make him the club’s second-highest scorer this season in all competitions, so that’s a big hole to fill.
Fenerbahce are set to line up in their traditional 4-2-3-1 formation, with Vedat Muriqi or Romelu Lukaku set to lead the line. Lukaku has five career goals against Liverpool, and seven of his eight club goals for Fener have come at home.
Alexis MacAllister has three UCL goals this season.
Together with Bradley Barcola, Mac Allister has scored three goals in the UCL, with the duo the highest scorers for the Reds in this competition. They are likely to be key to the offensive third of the Reds, who are likely to play in the 4-2-3-1 system.
While there are no injury absences for Liverpool, they are still struggling to find their right XI. Alexander Isak is yet to hit the consistency chords, while Dominik Szoboszlai is just returning from an injury break.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Liverpool Prediction
Having lost his first game in charge, manager Dirk Kuyt will be under pressure to reverse the slide. His old team Liverpool are hardly the opponent to face, looking at how ruthless they have been in Europe lately. Even a draw would be a massive achievement under current circumstances, although no wins from their last ten UCL games are unlikely to give confidence.
The hosts can still find a way past the leaky Madrid backline, which has made a habit of conceding goals lately. Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Liverpool prediction is BTTS.
Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Liverpool Alternative Predictions
Liverpool wins
Dominik Szoboszlai to Score or Assist
Dominik Szoboszlai has come back from injury in the defeat to Arsenal, but should be fit to start here. The Hungarian has been a constant threat whenever he played, and with Alexander Isak improving his scoring form, Szoboszlai could fancy getting an assist or even a goal.
