Team News: Trabzonspor
Anthony Nwakaeme (Calf injury), Tim Jabol-Folcarelli (Muscle injury) and Denis Drăguș (Ligament stretching) won’t be playing for Trabzonspor boss Şenol Güneş.
We are thinking that Karadeniz Fırtınası will possibly use a 4-2-3-1 system for the game featuring Ugurcan Cakir, Pedro Malheiro, Stefan Savic, Arseniy Batagov, Mustafa Eskihellac, Batista Mendy, Muhammed Cham, Edin Visca, Danylo Sikan, Ozan Tufan and Simon Banza.
📰
Team News: Gaziantep
In an otherwise healthy group of players, there’s just a single fitness issue for the Gaziantep manager Selçuk İnan to be concerned with. Cyril Mandouki (Edema in the knee) won’t be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Gaziantep will likely make use of a 3-1-4-2 system, starting the game with Sokratis Dioudis, Arda Kizildag, Bruno Viana, Anel Husic, Papa Alioune Ndiaye, Deian Sorescu, Kacper Kozlowski, Alexandru Maxim, Christopher Lungoyi, Halil Dervisoglu and David Okereke.
🔮
Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Trabzonspor are likely to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.
In contrast, Gaziantep may well find it hard to make a breakthrough but we do fancy them hitting back at some stage, too.
We’re predicting a fairly comfortable 3-1 winning score for Trabzonspor when the full-time whistle blows.
