Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce predicted formations

Aston Villa host Fenerbahce at Villa Park on Wednesday, October 14 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

There are no fresh fitness concerns to flag from the available team news, so Villa should field their key men from the opener: Nicolas Jackson leading the line, John McGinn and Emiliano Buendía supporting from midfield, and Pau Torres marshalling the defense after setting up 2 goals last time out. Fenerbahce’s likely approach draws on the same spine that has carried their league-phase form: Mason Greenwood and Vedat Muriqi up front, with Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Marco Asensio supplying the service from deeper positions.
