Full analysis

Liverpool arrive 3rd in the league phase with 9 points and a +5 goal difference from three wins, though they lost 1-0 at Arsenal on 1 November. Fenerbahce sit 31st on 2 points (GD -6, form DLDWD), but both of their home games have been draws, and the market rates Liverpool as clear favourites.

Over the last 12 months Fenerbahce have scored in roughly three of every four home games (1.00 per game), while Liverpool have conceded 1.52 per game away. Liverpool are without both regular right-backs, Bradley and Frimpong, as well as Ekitike and Leoni. Fenerbahce miss Asensio, Ake and defender Oppong, and interim coach Dirk Kuyt takes his first Champions League game in charge.

The sharp market and our model both make a Fenerbahce goal more likely than not, so this is a Medium lean. It is not High because Asensio's absence and a possibly cautious interim set-up raise the blank risk, and line-ups are still provisional. It is not lower because Liverpool's away concession rate and their missing full-backs give the home side genuine routes to goal.
