Previous meetings

Aston Villa and Fenerbahce have met three times, according to Transfermarkt data, with the English club unbeaten in each fixture.

Villa have won all three encounters without conceding a goal. Their most recent meeting came on 22 January 2026 in the Europa League group stage, when the Villans recorded a 1-0 victory away in Turkey.

Recent form

Aston Villa arrive after a disappointing 2-2 draw with Brentford but have otherwise enjoyed a positive run. They have won four of their past six matches, including a 3-2 victory over Bruges in their opening Champions League fixture.

Fenerbahce are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions and travel to England in strong form.

The Turkish side produced an emphatic 8-0 win against Eyupspor in the league before holding Roma to a 1-1 draw in Europe. Those results have reinforced their confidence ahead of their visit to Villa Park.

Match prediction

Aston Villa start as favourites because of home advantage and their recent results, particularly their opening-day Champions League win against Club Bruges.

However, Fenerbahce have demonstrated enough attacking quality to trouble Unai Emery’s side. Villa are expected to edge a competitive contest, with Africafoot’s prediction being a 2-1 home victory.

The published 1xbet odds list Aston Villa at 1.58 to win, with the draw priced at 3.90 and a Fenerbahce victory at 4.70.
