Fenerbahce vs Liverpool puts a side in freefall up against one of five teams with a perfect Champions League record, and the gap looks every bit as wide as the table suggests.
Dirk Kuyt has taken interim charge after İsmail Kartal's resignation, but his first outing ended in defeat to Göztepe. Fenerbahce sit 31st in the table, and confidence is in short supply.
Andoni Iraola's Liverpool have taken maximum points from their Champions League campaign so far, scoring 12 goals. A weekend defeat to Arsenal ended their winning run, but this attack still flies.
This is the first competitive meeting between the clubs. Fenerbahce need a result to climb the table, while Liverpool want to keep their perfect record intact.
Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Form
Fenerbahce are a mess right now. Successive defeats to Galatasaray and Göztepe, both by a 2-1 scoreline, have deepened the gloom at home, and Europe offers no relief. Their latest Champions League outing was a draw with Slavia Prague, with Mason Greenwood and Oğuz Aydın on target, and they are now winless in ten in the competition.
Liverpool's winning run across all competitions was ended by a Premier League defeat to Arsenal at the weekend, but Europe has been a different story. They edged a wild 4-3 against Villarreal last time out, with Alexis Mac Allister scoring twice, and Bradley Barcola sits alongside him as the club's joint top scorer in this campaign.
Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Fenerbahce: Nathan Aké (Injured/out), Jayden Oosterwolde (Injured/out), Amara Diouf (Injured/out), Marco Asensio (Injured/out)
Liverpool: Hugo Ekitiké (Injured/out), Giovanni Leoni (Injured/out), Jeremie Frimpong (Injured/out), Conor Bradley (Injured/out)
Fenerbahce
Losing Aké and Oosterwolde thins out a defence that has already been leaking goals, and Asensio's absence removes an experienced creative head. Milan Škriniar anchors the probable back four, while Vedat Muriqi leads the line but is still waiting to get off the mark in the Champions League after eight appearances.
Liverpool
With Frimpong and Bradley both out, Dominik Szoboszlai is set to deputise at right-back, which tells you how stretched that flank is. Florian Wirtz operates at the ten behind Alexander Isak in the probable XI, and the pressing game is in rude health: Liverpool have forced 33 high turnovers in the Champions League this season, a figure only Arsenal have bettered.
Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Predicted Lineup

Liverpool
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Fenerbahce 1-3 Liverpool. Our Fenerbahce vs Liverpool prediction sides firmly with the visitors, whose pressing and finishing look too much for a home side short of defenders and short of belief. Fenerbahce have enough in Greenwood and Aydın to get on the scoresheet, but Liverpool are rightly short in the betting.
Best Bets
Liverpool to win in the Win Market. They are clear favourites away to a Fenerbahce side who are 31st in the league phase. This is the cornerstone of our Fenerbahce vs Liverpool best bets. The visitors carry a 64% AI probability for the win, and a Fenerbahce side missing Aké and Oosterwolde have been leaking goals of late.
Over 3.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. It matches a high-scoring projection for this match. The projected total sits at 3.48 goals, right on top of this line. Neither defence has been tight recently, and with Isak, Wirtz and Barcola all in Liverpool's probable XI, the hosts' depleted back four is in for a busy evening.
Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Bet Builder
Our Fenerbahce vs Liverpool bet builder tips lean on the visitors' attacking output, with a card leg thrown in, and the combination pays 20/1 with Spreadex.
Liverpool Over 1.5 Total Away Goals. Liverpool have scored 2+ goals in 3 of their last 3 Champions League matches, and this Fenerbahce defence offers little reason to expect that to stop.
Alexis Mac Allister Anytime Goalscorer. He has scored in 2 of his last 3 Champions League appearances, and a probable start alongside Gravenberch in the engine room keeps him in the mix.
İsmail Yüksek To Be Shown A Card. He has been carded in 2 of his last 3 Champions League appearances, though he isn't in either probable XI, so this leg needs him to get minutes.
Liverpool Over 6.5 Total Away Corners. Liverpool have had 7+ corners in 3 of their last 3 Champions League matches, which fits a side that pins opponents back with relentless pressing.

Fenerbahce vs Liverpool Talking Points
Dirk Kuyt facing his old club is the obvious storyline. The former Liverpool forward calls this a "very, very special occasion", but sentiment won't patch up a defence this porous. Iraola wants his side to start fast and "kill the confidence and momentum" of Fenerbahce and their supporters, and that matters, because the hosts have never lost a Champions League home match after opening the scoring. Liverpool's record in Turkey is the one nagging doubt, having failed to win any of their six previous European Cup or Champions League away matches against Turkish opposition. On current form, this squad looks well placed to put that right.
