Fenerbahce vs AS Roma Preview

Fenerbahce host AS Roma at the Ulker Stadyumu on Thursday as both sides open their Champions League league phase campaigns in solid recent touch.

Fenerbahce have won 3 of their last 5 games and arrive with confidence, despite a bump in the road last time out. Their most recent result was a 1-2 home defeat to Besiktas. Prior to that, a 2-0 away win at Samsunspor and a 2-1 away win at Lyon. Earlier in this run, a 4-2 home win over Konyaspor, and a 1-1 home draw with Lyon started this run.

AS Roma arrive in even better form, having won 3 of their last 5 games and looking sharp going forward. Their most recent outing was a 2-1 away win at Atalanta. Before that, a 4-0 away win at Lecce and a 4-0 home win over Fiorentina was an impressive two game stretch of clean sheets. Earlier in this run, a 2-2 away draw at Dortmund, and before that a 0-3 away defeat at Brighton was a disappointing pre-season friendly with little at stake.

The two sides have met just once before, with that meeting ending honours even. The sole previous encounter finished 3-3 away at Fenerbahce in a friendly.

Both clubs go into this one with a clean slate at the start of the league phase, so there’s no points gap to speak of yet — Fenerbahce were placed 32nd and Roma 16th heading into the draw. Roma have the stronger pedigree on paper, though Fenerbahce’s home advantage and recent European form make this far from a foregone conclusion.

In the UK, the match is live on TNT Sports 2 and available to stream via HBO Max. In Turkey, viewers can catch the action on TRT 1, Idman TV, Digiturk Play, or tabii. In the United States, the game is available on CBS Sports Network, Paramount+, fuboTV, and ViX.
