Lyon and Fenerbahce will face off to complete their tie in the UEFA Champions League playoff, which currently stands at 1-1. Heading into this encounter, our prediction will be backing BTTS again.
Lyon will be looking to start on the front foot at home after failing to hold onto their lead in Turkey. The French giants beat Toulouse in a 2-0 win in Ligue 1 right after the first leg and will be confident going into their second home game.
The reward here is massive: a UCL main draw place for the first time since 2019/20. In Europe, Lyon have won seven and lost once at home.
Fenerbahce had Mason Greenwood to thank for the result back at home as the youngster struck in the second half. Now their wait for a first main draw appearance since 2008/09 is just a win away.
However, a losing record at this stage means pain is never too far away either. The Turkish giants warmed up for this match with a 4-2 win over Konyaspor and will be hoping to replicate that.
There is a slight issue though; Fenerbahce have lost three of their last five away matches in UCL qualification. History also stands not in their favor, having failed to beat Lyon in four of six.
They have also managed just two wins in 11 away matches against Ligue 1 sides, losing eight.

Our Lyon vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
There is so much at stake here for these teams. Both are looking to end runs outside the Champions League main draw, making this a potentially grueling encounter. Lyon have the slight advantage, though, as they will be at home. It isn’t just that; they also have a good record in this match.
Fenerbahce haven’t really enjoyed it on the road against French opposition, but their recent scoring form should spark some confidence. Our prediction for Lyon v Fenerbahce is for Lyon to win & BTTS.
