At long last, Champions League football returns to Chobani Stadium this Thursday, with Fenerbahce set to take on Roma on Matchday 1. With the Yellow Canaries having scored in every game this season and I Giallorossi on 10 goals after three matches, we are leaning toward both teams getting on the scoresheet here as our match prediction.
Ismail Kartal’s side will be returning to Europe’s premier cup competition for the first time since 2008-09 this week after producing an unbeaten qualification campaign. Fener reached the Knockout Playoffs in the Europa League last term and will fancy their chances here, having won their last three home games against Italian opposition.
Roma, meanwhile, have not reached the UCL proper since 2018-19 when they got to the last 16. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have made a storming start to their domestic league season, currently top of the Serie A standings, and they are also on a five-match win streak against opponents from Turkey. This should be a close contest between two in-form teams - let’s get into the key stats!

Fenerbahce Istanbul - Roma: Form Analysis
Fenerbahce booked their spot in this season’s Champions League main draw with victories over Górnik Zabrze (2-1), Sturm Graz (3-0), and Lyon (3-2) during qualifying ahead of the tournament proper.
However, having prioritised this competition, the Yellow Canaries have experienced a mixed start to their league season (W2 D2) following a 2-1 loss to Beşiktaş at home this past weekend.
Despite that result over the weekend, Fener still have a very impressive home record, as that was the first defeat they have suffered at Chobani Stadium in any competition since the middle of February.
Fenerbahce have scored in 12 consecutive home games across all competitions!
Meanwhile, Roma finished eighth in the League Phase of the Europa League with 16 points last season (W5 D1 L2) before bowing out of the competition in the RO16, 5-4 on aggregate to Bologna.
The Yellow and Reds look very good this term, though, winning all three of their league matches to date, scoring an impressive 10 goals while conceding only once. They beat Atalanta 2-1 this past weekend.
The visitors have won their last four competitive away games either side of the summer break. Notably, they have reached the knockout stages in seven of their last eight UCL proper campaigns.

Fenerbahce Istanbul & Roma Squad Analysis
Mason Greenwood is one to watch for the home side this week. The former Marseille forward has made an impressive start to life in Istanbul, scoring two goals and one assist in 354 minutes. He has also registered 5 of 12 shots on target and created six chances.
It has now been confirmed that Matteo Guendouzi will be forced to sit out Fener’s first two games of this season’s UCL after UEFA slapped the midfielder with a ban for provocations and insults in the team’s victory over Lyon.
Marco Asensio was on the sidelines at the weekend due to a muscle injury and is listed as a doubt for this match, while Jayden Oosterwolde is only expected to return from an Achilles injury later this year.
Donyell Malen is in red-hot form for Roma this season!
The Netherlands international made his move to Roma permanent during the summer, and stormed out of the blocks with a hat-trick in his season opener before bagging a brace against Lecce a week later.
Paulo Dybala has been absent from the UCL for the past four and a half years, but the Argentine is likely to get the nod to start in attack here, as is his compatriot Nahuel Molina, who has come off the bench in the last two games.
Lorenzo Pellegrini has resumed training with the squad following a hip injury, though he is unlikely to make the starting XI for this week’s trip to Istanbul.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Roma Prediction
Fenerbahce enter the opening week of the Champions League season as marginal underdogs, but they will fancy their chances of taking something from this match, given their impressive record on their home patch.
Roma, on the other hand, have been excellent and free-flowing in attack this season, already on 10 goals after just three league games. Given the starts these sides have made this term, we are expecting to see goals at both ends before the final whistle. Our Fenerbahce vs Roma prediction is BTTS.
