Fenerbahce vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting tips
Fenerbahçe SK will face AS Roma in their opening match of the UEFA Champions League league phase on Thursday, September 10, 2026, at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium (Chobani Stadium) in Istanbul. This highly anticipated Matchday 1 fixture marks a fresh European campaign for both clubs under the newly formatted Champions League league phase. While Roma enters the tie as the slight market favorite, Fenerbahçe relies on their formidable home atmosphere in Istanbul to capture early points.
Fenerbahce:
The hosts are looking to rebound after a recent 2-1 domestic loss to Besiktas. Manager Kartal’s side successfully secured their spot in the league phase via the playoffs against Lyon. Striker Mason Greenwood enters in good form with multiple goals early this season, alongside attacking threats Vedat Muriqi and Archibald Brown. However, the team will be missing midfielder Mattéo Guendouzi due to a suspension, and Jayden Oosterwolde is out following hamstring surgery. Marco Asensio remains a doubt with a thigh strain.
Predicted Fenerbahce XI (4-2-3-1): Ederson – Mert Müldür, Milan Škriniar, Nathan Aké, Archie Brown – N’Golo Kanté, İsmail Yüksek – Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Oğuz Aydın, Mason Greenwood – Vedat Muriqi
AS Roma:
Managed by Gian Piero Gasperini, the Giallorossi have enjoyed an excellent start in Serie A, sitting tied at the top of the table with a perfect nine points from three games (outscoring opponents 10-1). Their attack is spearheaded by the lethal partnership of Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen, who has already scored five domestic goals this season. Roma’s squad is nearly at full strength, with only captain Lorenzo Pellegrini sidelined due to a thigh problem.
Predicted AS Roma XI (3-4-2-1): Mile Svilar – Evan N’Dicka, Gianluca Mancini, Mario Hermoso – Nahuel Molina, Bryan Cristante, Manu Koné, Wesley – Paulo Dybala, Matías Soulé – Donyell Malen
