There's more UEFA Champions League action for us to get stuck into on Wednesday, when one of the games will take place at Villa Park. Taking to the field against Aston Villa following a trip from the Turkish capital of Istanbul, will be Fenerbahçe, who will be hoping to do a little better than they did when losing (by a goal to zero) against the Villans in the 2025/26 UEFA Europa League.
Those interested in betting on a player prop as these two clash in Birmingham should consider 'Kerem Aktürkoğlu 1+ Shots on Target'. The forward is a threat both on the break and from range, while he registered a shot on target when the teams met in continental competition under a year ago. He'll be looking to repeat that trick on Wednesday.

Our Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Istanbul Prediction
Given that this is the sort of big game where he thrives, Kerem Aktürkoğlu looks quite leniently priced to register a shot on target. For starters, he hit the target against Aston Villa last season, and it's probably fair to say that the hosts have weakened defensively since then, so let's no be surprised if the Turk does something similar this time around.
Having registered not one but two shots on target during Fenerbahce's first UCL League Phase game of the season, odds of +120 are just too generous to ignore.
Our Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Pick: Kerem Akturkoglu 1+ Shots on Target.
