The time is now for those left in qualifying to secure their place in the UEFA Champions League. Two teams looking to do just that will clash at Sükrü Saracoglu Stadium on Tuesday, when Fenerbahçe take on Lyon. Having competed in the Europa League last season, both teams will be hungry to make their presence felt in Europe's premier club competition. 

In front of what will be an expectant home crowd, the Turkish hosts should fancy themselves to do some damage here. They're up against a Lyon team that looked very open at the back away against Sparta Prague during the last UCL qualifying round, which should fill what is a strong home offense with confidence. At odds of -110, it's worth betting on İsmail Kartal's men to put that confidence to good use by scoring multiple goals.

Our Fenerbahce Istanbul vs Lyon Prediction

The way in which the French visitors struggled to keep Sparta Prague at bay during the previous round does not suggest that the hosts will have a tough time offensively. Fenerbahce's offensive set-up boasts lots more quality than Lyon's last UCL opponents, so it's far from difficult to see the home side thriving in that respect. 

After all, we are talking about a home team that has notched two or more in five of their last six at Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, against an away team that frequently concedes multiple goals on the road.
