There aren’t many selection issues, with just a single fitness concern for the Alanyaspor boss Fatih Tekke to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Loide Augusto (unknown injury) misses out.

It looks as if Alanyaspor may well employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game with Ertugrul Taskiran, Florent Hadergjonaj, Furkan Bayir, Fidan Aliti, Jure Balkovec, Richard Coelho, Nicolas Janvier, Oguz Aydin, Efecan Karaca, Yusuf Özdemir and Ahmed Hassan.
