Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds for all Europa League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Fenerbahce (1) | X | Aston Villa (2) |
| 10/7 | 5/2 | 17/11 |
This is one of the most common markets in football betting. Bettors can pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Fenerbahce SK) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Aston Villa) wins
If your chosen outcome is successful, your bet pays out based on the odds provided by the bookmaker. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds, where the denominator indicates the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return.
If you examine the Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 10/7 for Fenerbahce, 17/11 for Aston Villa, and 5/2 for a draw. This means a successful bet on Fenerbahce will pay £10 for every £7, correctly predicting Aston Villa’s win at 17/11 odds will pay £17 for every £11, and a draw pays £5 for every £2. Stakes on winning bets are also refunded.
Upon simplifying the odds, bets on the Turkish team pay £1.43, while bets on Villa pay £1.54, which is roughly the same. This means bookmakers consider both teams as evenly matched. To lower your risk, you can consider relatively safer markets like Double Chance or Handicap for a favourable return.
Double Chance
| Fenerbahce or Draw | Fenerbahce or Aston Villa | Draw or Aston Villa |
| 3/7 | 3/11 | 12/25 |
Double Chance is a variation of the 1X2 market. Bettors can pick two out of three outcomes simultaneously:
- Fenerbahce or Draw (1X): This bet loses if Aston Villa wins.
- Fenerbahce or Aston Villa (12): Loses if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Aston Villa (X2): This bet loses if Fenerbahce wins.
Consider this market if you believe we’ll see a tightly contested game on Thursday, and predicting a result may be difficult.
Your probability of winning in Double Chance is higher than 1X2, since you get to pick more options. But this also means that your payout will be lower. Bookmakers lower the odds when the likelihood of a result becomes very high.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Fenerbahce (+0) | Aston Villa (-0) |
| 11/14 | 8/9 |
| Fenerbahce (-0.5) | Aston Villa(+0.5) |
| 15/11 | 1/2 |
| Fenerbahce (-1) | Aston Villa (+1) |
| 13/5 | 3/13 |
A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage to your chosen team and a similar disadvantage to the other team. For example, you award a +1 advantage to Aston Villa. This means 1 point will be added to their final goal tally. Similarly, 1 point will be taken away from Fenerbahce. So, if the match ends 2–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1–2.
Adding a handicap ensures your chosen team gets a head start. However, it is important to consider the goal difference when selecting a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the goal margin needs to be for the other team to overcome the gap.
For this fixture, all handicaps are negative for Fenerbahce and positive for Villa. This means the Turkish team will need to overcome the gap by a set number of points (chosen by you). Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:
- Fenerbahce (+0) / Aston Villa (-0): This is similar to Draw No Bet, where your wager is returned in case of a draw.
- Fenerbahce (-0.5) / Aston Villa (+0.5): This handicap gives an advantage to Villa in case of a draw.
- Fenerbahce (-1) / Aston Villa (+1): Aston Villa gets a one-goal advantage. For example, a score of 1–0 will be adjusted as 0–1. A two-goal margin will lead to a draw (2–0 becomes 1–1). The Turkish team will need to win with a three-goal margin to overcome the gap (3–0 becomes 2–1).

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 4/7 | 6/5 |
Consider the clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero) for both teams in this market. Fenerbahce kept six clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Aston Villa kept one.
These statistics will help you decide how to pick the Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa odds in the BTTS market. The higher the clean sheets, the higher the chances for BTTS No bets.
Choose BTTS “Yes” if you believe that the score will be at least 1–1 or higher, meaning both teams will score at least once. Choose the “No” bet if you think either one or both teams will keep a clean sheet on Thursday.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 7/10 | 21/20 |
For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 2.5. An Over 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is three goals or higher. An Under 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is two or lower. For example, scores like 2–1, 2–2, 3–0, etc., will pay out for the Over 2.5 bet. Similarly, scores like 0–2, 0–0, 2–0, 1–1 will pay out for an Under 2.5 bet.
Fenerbahce averaged 2.2 goals in their last 10 matches. Aston Villa averaged 1.7 goals in the same period. This brings their average combined goal total to 3.9, which is above the 2.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Fenerbahce vs Aston Villa Odds |
| 0–0 | 12/1 |
| 1–0 | 17/2 |
| 1–1 | 16/3 |
| 0–1 | 17/2 |
| 2–0 | 12/1 |
| 0–2 | 13/1 |
| 2–2 | 11/1 |
| 2–1 | 8/1 |
| 1–2 | 8/1 |
In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the precise final score. This can be a difficult market to bet on as it involves risk and guesswork. However, if your analysis is correct, you stand to win a lot. For example, predicting a precise 1–0 win for Fenerbahce pays £17 for every £2, and predicting a correct 0–2 win for Aston Villa pays £13 for every pound in the Correct Score market. These are just a few examples of possible scores. You can adjust the betting line between 0 and +5 goals for both teams on our page as per your analysis.
