Aston Villa vs Fenerbahce Head to Head (H2H) stats
-
Fenerbahce
0 : 1
Aston Villa
Europa League
These two teams have met only three times. In two H2H matches in 1977, Aston Villa won 2-0 and 4-0. Their most recent encounter was about nine months ago, when Aston Villa won 1-0 in Istanbul in the Europa League. Interestingly, Fenerbahce never scored against their next opponent.
Aston Villa team overview
Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa have become one of England's best teams. The 2026/27 campaign started rough, as the Birmingham side didn't win their first four matches in all competitions. Since then, Aston Villa have had an excellent 4-2-1 record across all competitions, including a 3-2 win over Club Brugge in the Champions League opening round. In the most recent outing, they played 2-2 at home against Brentford. The hosts were closer to victory then, with significantly better goal-scoring chances, but poor defense cost them two points.
Aston Villa have big injury problems, especially on the left side. Matteo Ruggeri started against Brentford, but had to come off due to a hamstring injury, and his status is in doubt for the game against Fenerbahce. Ian Maatsen, another option at the same position, is also unavailable, so Aaron Wan-Bissaka could start at left-back on Wednesday night. Besides Ruggeri and Maatsen, Aston Villa will also be without Amadou Onana, while Leon Goretzka, George Hemmings, and Brian Madjo are questionable.

Fenerbahce team overview
For too long, Fenerbahce are in Galatasaray's shadow. The 2026/27 season is another year in which the team from the Asian part of Istanbul is hoping to win their first Super Lig trophy since 2014. After seven rounds, Fenerbahce are fourth, three points behind the league leader, Galatasaray. In the Champions League, Ismael Kartal's team opened with a solid 1-1 draw with AS Roma. Fenerbahce are unbeaten in the last four matches. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road against Rizespor. The scoreline was somewhat flattering, as the two teams were more evenly matched than the result suggests, with Fenerbahce's superior finishing ultimately making the difference.
Fenerbahce will not have a full squad on Wednesday either. Mert Muldur and Jayden Oosterwolde are unavailable. However, the good news for Kartal's side is that Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio have recovered and even started in the previous Super Lig tie. Both players could have a huge role at Villa Park.
