Fenerbahçe vs Nice Preview and Team News
Fenerbahçe Team News
It’s matchday two in the league phase of the Europa League, and Fenerbahçe are hoping to underline their status as contenders in this competition by beating Nice. They dropped out of the Champions League, with their narrow play-off defeat to Benfica costing Jose Mourinho his job. Since then, they’ve sought to rebuild under the guidance of Domenico Tedesco.
The ex-Belgium boss has made a mixed start. He’s overseen two wins and two draws in the Turkish top flight, including a 2-0 triumph over Antalyaspor on Sunday. However, a 1-3 defeat away to Dinamo Zagreb was a bitterly disappointing way to start their Europa League campaign.

The Sarı Kanaryalar barely even threatened in that match, registering only 0.17 xG. However, the response was positive, and they dominated against Antalyaspor last time out with 19 shots and 2.64 xG across the 90 minutes.
They’re doing quite well on the fitness front, although this game will come too soon for striker Jhon Durán, who is recovering from an injury.
Fenerbahçe predicted lineup vs Nice (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Brown, Oosterwolde, Škriniar, Semedo; Yüksek, Asensio; Aktürkoğlu, Talisca, Nene; En-Nesyri.
Nice Team News
It’s been a disappointing start for Nice. After qualifying for this competition by finishing fourth in Ligue 1 last season, they’ve only won two of their opening six fixtures in the league. Their last two outings have ended in a 4-1 defeat to Brest and a 1-1 draw against Paris FC, with a 2-1 European home loss against Roma sandwiched in between.
Franck Haise has a big job on his hands if he wants to replicate last season’s success. They’re badly missing Evann Guessand, who registered more than 20 goal contributions across all competitions last year before joining Aston Villa.

Les Aiglons have lacked an obvious reference point in attack without him. Jérémie Boga has taken on more responsibility, but lacks the physical presence to hold the ball and link up with other advancing players.
That may have contributed to Haise adopting a more patient approach, with his side enjoying more possession this term. Their average share of the ball in the French top flight has increased significantly to 55.8%.
The visitors are currently missing Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye, and Tanguy Ndombele due to injuries.
Nice predicted lineup vs Fenerbahçe (3-5-2): Diouf; Dante, Bah, Mendy; Bard, Sanson, Vanhoutte, Boudaoui, Louchet; Carlos, Boga.
Fenerbahçe vs Nice Prediction
- Pick: Fenerbahçe to win
- Odds: -133 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Fenerbahçe 2-1 Nice
Nice look to have regressed from the high standards they set in 2024/25. That situation was largely to be expected given they raised more than €100 million (around $117 million) from player sales in the summer, with only a fraction of that money reinvested.
They competed well against Roma last week, but couldn’t muster much of a goal threat until they converted a late penalty.
Their opponents are also a work in progress following an active summer, but there’s more quality in this Fenerbahçe side. Even without Durán, they have the dangerous Youssef En-Nesyri to lead the line. The Moroccan knows what it takes to succeed in this competition, having won it twice with Sevilla.
With the likes of Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Marco Asensio also capable of both scoring and creating goals, the hosts should have enough firepower to win this game.
Fenerbahçe vs Nice Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -123 (20Bet)
Nice’s downturn has affected them across the pitch, and their defensive numbers are also less impressive. They’re making fewer tackles per game in Ligue 1, with last season’s average of 18.6 dropping to 14.2. They’re also allowing over 1.5 xG per 90 minutes.
Their opponents are far from flawless in that department, though. Fenerbahçe have only kept two clean sheets in their last eight encounters. They’ll look to play on the front foot here, but could be vulnerable on the break, particularly against Boga, who is blessed with raw speed.
