Perfect Liverpool face winless Fenerbahçe

Liverpool enter Matchday 4 with a perfect nine points. The Reds have beaten Atlético de Madrid 2-1, LASK 6-3 and Villarreal 4-3. Fenerbahçe are still looking for their first league-phase win after draws against Roma (1-1) and Slavia Prague (2-2), either side of a heavy 6-0 defeat at Aston Villa.

The Turkish side are aiming to revive their campaign in front of their home support, while Liverpool can take another step towards direct qualification for the round of 16.

Fenerbahçe vs Liverpool: A historic first meeting

This is the first competitive meeting between Fenerbahçe and Liverpool. The two clubs therefore have no previous head-to-head record before their European encounter in Istanbul.

Their records against clubs from the opposing country nevertheless provide some context. Fenerbahçe have won four of their 12 home games against English visitors, drawing two and losing six. Liverpool have won only one of their eight European away matches in Türkiye, with one draw and six defeats. The Reds have lost their last three matches on Turkish soil, each by a 1-0 scoreline.
