Fenerbahçe v Liverpool preview: UEFA Champions League
Fenerbahçe, 31st and still without a win in the UEFA Champions League, host a Liverpool side who are 3rd and have won all three of their matches.
The occasion and the table
Fenerbahçe host Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League, with kick-off set for 4 November 2026 17:45.
The two sides arrive at very different points in the table. Liverpool are 3rd with 9 points from 3 matches. They have won all three, scoring 12 goals and conceding 7.
Fenerbahçe sit 31st with 2 points from 3 matches. They are still looking for a first win, with 2 draws and 1 defeat so far, and have scored 3 goals while conceding 9.
Recent form and home/away records
Fenerbahçe's most recent outing ended in a 1-2 home defeat to Göztepe. Before that they lost 1-2 away to Galatasaray, and before that they drew 2-2 at home with Slavia Prague. Earlier still came a 3-0 home win over Alanyaspor, and before that a 0-6 defeat away to Aston Villa. That adds up to 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their last 5 matches.
Liverpool's latest match was a 0-1 home defeat to Arsenal. Before that they drew 1-1 at home with Chelsea, and before that they beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 at home. Prior to that they edged Villarreal 4-3 at home, and before that they won 2-1 away at Brentford. Their record from the last 5 reads 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Home advantage is where Fenerbahçe can take some encouragement. At home in the UEFA Champions League this season, their record reads 5 matches, 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats, with 7 goals scored and 4 conceded.
Liverpool's away record in the UEFA Champions League this season covers 1 match, which they won, scoring 6 goals and conceding 3.
Players to watch
Alexis Mac Allister is the name that stands out in the Liverpool squad. He is the club's top scorer in the UEFA Champions League this season with 3 goals, and the visitors will look to him for a contribution once more.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to two teams who regularly find the net but also tend to concede. Across their last 5 matches, Fenerbahçe scored in 4, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams scored in 3. Liverpool's figures over the same number of matches are identical: they scored in 4, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams scored in 3.
In the UEFA Champions League table, the contrast is sharper. Liverpool's 12 goals from 3 matches show how productive they have been in attack, although the 7 they have conceded suggest their opponents have also found chances. Fenerbahçe have scored 3 and conceded 9 in their 3 matches, so keeping things tight at the back looks central to their hopes.
At home, however, Fenerbahçe have conceded 4 goals in their 5 UEFA Champions League matches, which offers a more solid picture than their overall table record.
