Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Preview

Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce

Competition – Champions League

Stadium: Villa Park

Date: 14th October 2026

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Fenerbahçe arrive at Villa Park on Wednesday night still looking for a first goal against Aston Villa. Three previous meetings have produced three Villa wins and a 7-0 aggregate, the latest of them a 1-0 win in Istanbul in January. The Turkish side bring a five-game unbeaten run into this one, including an 8-0 league win over Eyupspor. Villa have lost just once in their last five and drew 2-2 with Brentford on Saturday. In the league phase standings, Villa sit ninth on three points after a 3-2 win in their opening game, while Fenerbahçe are 20th on one following a 1-1 draw with Roma. For Villa, this is a chance to make it two wins from two in front of their own supporters. For Fenerbahçe, a first league phase win would carry extra weight given their record in this fixture. Kick-off in Birmingham is at 8pm UK time.

Aston Villa have won three of their last five, drawn one and lost one, scoring 12 goals along the way. The latest result was a 2-2 home draw with Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, which ended a three-match winning run and meant Villa conceded twice for the second league game running. That run included a 3-1 friendly win away at Sevilla on 2 October and a 3-2 victory at Tottenham in the league on 19 September. Three days before the Tottenham win, Villa beat Coventry 3-1 away in the EFL Cup to reach the next round. The only defeat in the sample is also the oldest result: a 2-1 home loss to Nottingham Forest on 12 September. Both of Villa’s home games in this run came at Villa Park in the league, and they took one point from them. Away from home, they won all three.

Fenerbahçe are unbeaten in five, with three wins and two draws, and they have conceded just once in that time. The most recent outing was a 3-0 win away at Rizespor in the Süper Lig on Saturday, their third straight victory. A 2-0 friendly win away at Turan Tovuz on 3 October sits behind it. The standout result in the sample is an 8-0 thumping of Eyupspor at home on 20 September. Six days prior, Fenerbahçe were held 0-0 at Gaziantep. The oldest of the five is the 1-1 home draw with Roma on matchday one of the Champions League, the only game in which they conceded. That adds up to 14 goals scored, one conceded and four clean sheets, with 11 scored and none conceded across three Süper Lig games.

Villa have won all three previous meetings, and Fenerbahçe have not scored in any of them. The most recent came in the Europa League on 22 January this year, when Villa won 1-0 away in Istanbul. The two earlier meetings date back to 1977. Villa won 2-0 in Turkey on 28 September of that year to go through, having already won the first meeting 4-0 at Villa Park on 14 September. The aggregate stands at 7-0 in Villa’s favour, and both of their visits to Fenerbahçe ended in clean-sheet wins.

Aston Villa are ninth in the league phase standings on three points, with Fenerbahçe 20th on one. A win would take Fenerbahçe to four points, with their position depending on results elsewhere on matchday two.
