Why we called it

Openda's opener in Istanbul was cancelled out and the tie returns level to the Groupama Stadium, where Lyon have been very hard to beat; Tolisso and Morton come back into midfield, Sulc has recovered from his knee problem and Tagliafico is available, with only Niakhate a doubt. Fenerbahce are patched up in goal and defence — Gunok out, Soyuncu with a muscle issue, Oosterwolde leaving for Roma — but Talisca has scored in all four qualifiers and Greenwood, Asensio and Akturkoglu give them real threat on the break. Lyon are a clear but not overwhelming favourite with home advantage, so 2-1.
