Fenerbahce will invite Lazio to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in a friendly on Wednesday. The Yellow Canaries will play for the first time at home this month and will conclude their preseason with this match.
The hosts saw their winning streak in the preseason end after three games last week as they lost 3-2 to Benfica in the 2025 Eusebio Cup. Goals from İrfan Can Kahveci and Youssef En-Nesyri helped them come back from two goals down, but Henrique Araújo bagged an 81st-minute winner for Benfica.
The visitors have enjoyed a winning run in two friendlies thus far. They got their preseason underway against their U-20 side, recording a 3-0 win, and overcame Avellino 1-0 last week. Mattéo Guendouzi scored the match-winner from the penalty spot.
