Team News

Trabzonspor
Rizespor
  • Mislav Orsic has suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and will not be available until 2024.
  • Joaquin Fernandez is also injured so Stefano Denswil will start.
  • Tonio Teklic is expected to deputise for Trezeguet who is also sidelined with an injury.
  • Anil Yasar is expected to deputise for the injured Khusniddin Alikulov.

Prediction

  • Trabzonspor were beaten 2-0 by Galatasaray last time out. Losing to the title-holders is not a disaster but Trabzonspor's performance was alarmingly bad. They lacked creativity and spark going forward, which has been an ongoing issue under Bjelica. The return of Visca will provide a short-term solution to their woes in attack but the future doesn't look too bright for Trabzonspor.
  • Rizespor managed to keep Alanyaspor to a goalless draw last time out. They looked very solid at the back and with a dynamic midfield display, they never allowed Alanyaspor to gain control of the game. There is no doubt that Rizespor will improve under Palut but in the short run we can expect to see more defence-oriented performances like last weekend's.
  • This is not going to be a hard-fought fixture. Trabzonspor are slight favorites at home.
