Aston Villa host Fenerbahce looking to maintain perfect start

What the table says

Villa sit eleventh with three points from one match, while Fenerbahce are twenty-fourth with one point from one. Barcelona, Sporting CP and Arsenal share top spot on six points apiece, though all three have played twice. A win here would lift Villa level with that leading group; a draw would leave them on four points from two.

Fenerbahce's draw in their opening fixture leaves them mid-table. A win at Villa Park would take them to four points from two matches, a draw to two points. The gap between the sides is narrow, two points separates eleventh from twenty-fourth.

Recent form

Villa have won three of their last five recent matches, drawn one and lost one. That run includes a 3-1 win and a 2-2 draw in their two most recent outings. Fenerbahce have won three of their last five and drawn two, with an 8-0 victory and consecutive wins by 2-0 and 3-0 closing out that sequence.

The sides met once earlier this year, Villa winning 1-0. That single meeting produced one goal in total. The market implies a 57.3 per cent chance of a Villa win, 23.3 per cent for a draw and 19.5 per cent for a Fenerbahce victory.
