Fenerbahce vs Roma: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Stats

Fenerbahce vs Roma predicted formations

Fenerbahce host Roma at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium on Thursday, September 10 (12:45 PM ET / 11:45 AM CT / 9:45 AM PT).

There are no injury or suspension concerns flagged for either side coming into this one, so Fenerbahce should have their most productive attackers available at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. Mason Greenwood is the standout name, with two goals and five shots on target from his recent minutes, while Archibald Brown and Vedat Muriqi have both also found the net. Marco Asensio and Mattéo Guendouzi supply the creative side of things, each setting up eight chances created, with Nélson Semedo the senior presence at the back. Roma’s teamsheet detail isn’t confirmed in the numbers available for this preview, so the visitors’ approach is best read through form and the market rather than a named XI.

That leaves this one to be judged on personnel rather than league position, and the picture tilts towards the visitors. Roma arrive fancied to edge the contest, but Fenerbahce’s scoring options, Greenwood chief among them, give the hosts every chance of getting on the scoresheet regardless of how the final result falls. Expect goals at both ends of the pitch on Thursday.

With both sides opening this league-phase campaign on level terms — no points banked, no games played, nothing yet to separate them in the table — this one looks set to swing on moments in the final third rather than league standing. We’re backing Roma to edge it 1-2 in Istanbul, with goals at both ends and Greenwood among the scorers even in defeat.
