Previous meetings
Aston Villa have a perfect record against Fenerbahce, according to Transfermarkt data. The teams have met three times, with the English club winning every encounter without conceding a goal.
Their most recent meeting came on 22 January 2026 in the Europa League group stage. Aston Villa secured a 1-0 victory away from home in Turkey.
Contrasting form
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa go into the match after a frustrating 2-2 draw with Brentford, although their wider run remains encouraging. The Villans have won four of their past six matches in all competitions.
That sequence includes a 3-2 victory over Club Bruges in their opening Champions League fixture, giving them an early boost in the competition.
Fenerbahce arrive in similarly strong form and are unbeaten in their past five matches in all competitions. Their recent results include an emphatic 8-0 league win against Eyupspor and a 1-1 draw with Roma in European competition.
The Turkish side’s attacking strength is expected to pose a significant test for Aston Villa, despite the home team being regarded as favourites.
Africafoot’s prediction is an Aston Villa win, with the English side expected to prevail 2-1 after a closely contested match. The assessment is based on Villa’s home advantage and recent momentum, while recognising that Fenerbahce have enough attacking quality to trouble their opponents.
The bookmaker 1xbet lists Aston Villa as favourites at odds of 1.58. A draw is priced at 3.90, while a Fenerbahce victory is available at 4.70.
