🗞️ Team News: Trabzonspor

Mehmet Aydın (Fitness), Paul Onuachu (Fitness) and Hüseyin Türkmen (Achilles tendon rupture) are unavailable for Trabzonspor manager Abdullah Avcı. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Onuralp Çevikkan and Hüseyin Türkmen.

It’s our opinion that Karadeniz Fırtınası look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Ugurcan Cakir, Thomas Meunier, Batista Mendy, Stefano Denswil, Evren Eren Elmali, Berat Ozdemir, Umut Gunes, Edin Visca, Enis Bardhi, Trezeguet and Nicolas Pepe.

🗞️ Team News: Sivasspor

Sivasspor boss Bülent Uygun has to currently contend with reduced team options. Emrah Başsan (unknown injury), Ali Şaşal Vural (Wrist injury), Azizbek Turgunboev (Groin injury), Ziya Erdal (unknown injury) and Hakan Arslan (Tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet. Emre Gökay is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that Yiğidolar will likely elect for a 4-3-3 system, settling for Djordje Nikolic, Murat Paluli, Aaron Appindangoye, Samba Camara, Ugur Ciftci, Charilaos Charisis, Achilleas Poungouras, Bartug Elmaz, Bengali-Fode Koita, Rey Manaj and Queensy Menig.

⚡ Prediction

We envisage that Trabzonspor will likely fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they line up against Sivasspor, who will be up against it to break down their defence.

We reckon that it will be a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Trabzonspor at the conclusion of the game.
