Team News
İsmail Kartal is without Mattéo Guendouzi, Mert Hakan Yandaş, Rodrigo Becão, Jayden Oosterwolde, Abdou Aziz Fall, Amara Diouf and Marco Asensio, leaving the hosts with several unavailable options across defence and midfield.
Ederson should start in goal behind Nélson Semedo, Milan Škriniar, Nathan Aké and Archie Brown. Brown already made a decisive contribution in qualifying by scoring against Lyon and should again be encouraged to advance from left-back.
İsmail Yüksek and N’Golo Kanté are expected to provide the midfield base, with İrfan Kahveci, Oğuz Aydın and Mason Greenwood operating behind Muriqi. That structure should allow Fenerbahçe to attack quickly once possession is recovered.
Muriqi leads the line after scoring in the decisive play-off victory, while Romelu Lukaku also provides a notable attacking option if involved. The Belgian has scored four goals in his last six appearances against Roma, including the winner for Napoli in his most recent home meeting with them.
Gian Piero Gasperini is missing Lorenzo Pellegrini, but otherwise has most of his core group available. Mile Svilar should continue in goal behind Evan Ndicka, Mario Hermoso and Gianluca Mancini.
Nahuel Molina and Wesley are expected to provide the width from wing-back, with Bryan Cristante and Manu Koné anchoring midfield. Their ability to control Fenerbahçe’s counter-attacks will be particularly important in a hostile away environment.
Further forward, Paulo Dybala and Matías Soulé should operate behind Donyell Malen. Dybala has been directly involved in 12 goals across his last 16 Champions League starts, scoring 11, despite not appearing in the competition since March 2022.
Gasperini’s recent Champions League record is also strong. He has lost only four of his last 23 group-stage or league-phase matches in the competition, and Roma arrive having scored in 20 consecutive games across all competitions.
Odds
Fenerbahce Win: 3.3

Game Analysis
There is a clear but slim favourite here. Roma is the shortest price on a book of 3.3 / 3.5 / 2.15 (1 / X / 2), an implied 44.1%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 28.8% / 27.1% / 44.1% on an overround of 5.4%.
The draw is unusually well backed at 3.5 (27.1%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.
In the league table Fenerbahce sit 17th on 0 points (0W 0D 0L) with Roma 16th on 0 points (0W 0D 0L).
Fenerbahce read L-W-W-W-D-L across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (3W 1D 2L) — patchy.
Roma read W-W-W-W-W-W across their last 6 in all competitions, most recent first (6W 0D 0L) — about as good as form gets.
