Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke has multiple availability issues to deal with. Tim Jabol-Folcarelli (Heel injury), Erol Can Çolak (unknown injury), Okay Yokuşlu (unknown injury), Anthony Nwakaeme (Fitness), Mustafa Eskihellaç (Muscle injury), Rayyan Baniya (Shin injury) and Edin Visca (Broken foot) are those who can’t be considered. The players who will not be able to play in this game through being suspended are Paul Onuachu and Christ Inao Oulaï.
There’s a good chance that Karadeniz Fırtınası seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Andre Onana, Arif Bosluk, Serdar Saatci, Arseniy Batagov, Wagner Pina, Okay Yokuslu, Benjamin Bouchouari, Oleksandr Zubkov, Onuralp Cakiroglu, Kazeem Olaigbe and Felipe Augusto.
⚡ Prediction
When taking everything into account, Gençlerbirliği may find it difficult to be putting a goal past this Trabzonspor team who we reckon will score at least once to put them ahead.
We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 winning margin for Trabzonspor after 90 minutes.
There should be little in it.
