What the model expects
The probabilities are estimates. The model gives Aston Villa 57.9%, a draw 24.2% and Fenerbahçe 18%; its likeliest result is an Aston Villa win. Its stated lean is Aston Villa to win.
The model projects over 2.5 goals at 58.6% and under 2.5 goals at 41.4%. It gives both teams to score 55.8%, while the chance that at least one side fails to score is 44.2%. That latter outcome includes matches in which one team scores and the other does not, as well as a goalless draw.
The likeliest exact scores are 1-1 (10%), 2-1 (9.4%) and 2-0 (9.3%). The leading scoreline is level, while the overall result forecast identifies an Aston Villa win as the most likely outcome. Those forecasts describe different possibilities: one names an exact score, the other assesses the match result as a whole.
Form and standings
Fenerbahçe are unbeaten in their last 5. Their recent sequence is DWDWW, amounting to 3 wins and 2 draws and 7 goals scored and 3 conceded. Their most recent match was a 1-1 home draw with AS Roma on September 10. That run is a solid platform for a trip to face a side that has already collected 3 points from 1 game.
