Fenerbahce are 21st in the standings with 8 points won so far – they have two wins, two draws and two losses. This means that the Turkish team have to do a bit better in order to secure their place in the 1/8-finals. Mourinho knows that so winning against Lyonnais is a priority here.
Fenerbahce lost two of their last three games in Europa League so they can improve on that. Players like Edin Dzeko, Dusan Tadic and Youssef En-Nesyri are bringing a lot of threat upfront, but the team needs a better performance in defense. This is where players like Soyuncu and Mercan have to give more.
In their last game in the Turkish Super Lig Fenerbahce showed their muscle by scoring four times against Adana Demirspor – 4-0. En-Nesyri became the hero for the Feneri as he scored twice and made one assist.
Olympique Lyonnais are doing much better in Europa League this season. The French club is currently 4th in the standings with 13 points. This means that Les Gones are close to reaching the 1/8-finals directly. The could be one of the dark horses in the title race.
Olympique Lyonnais won four of their six Europa League games so far. Pierre Sage’s boys are almost perfect in the competition, although they are without a win in their last three matches in France. It’d be interesting to see if Lyonnais can change their performance timely for the away game against Fenerbahce.
The Georgian international Georges Mikautadze will lead Lyonnais’ attack in Turkey. He’s not having the best season in terms of stats, but he remains a quality player.
That’s the Asian handicap soccer predictions for beginners for the Europa League game between Fenerbahce and Olympique Lyonnais. Good luck!
