-----------------------------

Lyon and Fenerbahce meet again in France for the decisive second leg of their Champions League playoff after a tense draw last week. The winner will secure a place in the league phase, while the losing side will drop into the Europa League.

Team Analysis:

Lyon are one win away from reaching the Champions League league phase after drawing the first leg with Fenerbahce in Istanbul. Fenerbahce, meanwhile, are under pressure after an inconsistent start but regained confidence with a 4-2 league victory over Konyaspor.

Player Situation:

Lyon are set to welcome back Tyler Morton and Corentin Tolisso, while Pavel Sulc and Nicolas Tagliafico are also available, though Moussa Niakhate remains doubtful. Fenerbahce may rely on Talisca in attack after his strong scoring form, with several players including Caglar Soyuncu and Mert Gunok unavailable.

Result Prediction:

Fenerbahce could suffer another painful setback after showing signs of vulnerability in the first leg despite their strong squad. Lyon are expected to take advantage of their home strength and Paulo Fonseca's steady leadership to secure a place in the Champions League league phase.

Predicted Result: Lyon 2-1 Fenerbahce.
