Fenerbahce faces Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday in the return leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off round, seeking a spot in the competition's league phase after the two sides drew 1-1 in the first meeting.
The match at Groupama Stadium kicks off at 10 p.m. Italian referee Maurizio Mariani will officiate, assisted by compatriots Daniele Bindoni and Alberto Tegoni. Fellow Italian official Luca Zufferli is the fourth official.
Fenerbahce drew 1-1 with its French opponent in the first leg at Kadikoy, and now needs a win in regulation time to secure its place in the Champions League group phase.
If Fenerbahce beats Olympique Lyonnais in regulation time, the Turkish side advances to the Champions League group phase. Should the home team win, Lyon progresses instead.
A draw sends the match to extra time, and if the sides remain level after that, a penalty shootout will decide the winner.
Fenerbahce will be without four players for the match. Goalkeeper Mert Gunok, defender Caglar Soyuncu and forward Marco Asensio are all sidelined with injuries, while Kerem Akturkoglu is unavailable after sustaining a head injury.
Fenerbahce's probable starting eleven against Olympique Lyonnais is: Ederson, Semedo, Skriniar, Ake, Brown, Kante, Ismail Yuksek, Guendouzi, Greenwood, Nene and Talisca.
