One of the biggest clashes in the Turkish Super League is due to take place on Sunday at the Papara Park Stadium, where Trabzonspor will take on Fenerbahce. The hosts, trailing their visitors by 27 points and just one spot lower in the league standings, will be hoping to further distance themselves from the struggling Besiktas.
Last round, the hosts responded well after a defeat to Alanyaspor, resoundingly thrashing Fatih Karagumruk 5-1. Despite the significant points gap, it's worth noting that Trabzonspor is the only one to have inflicted a defeat on Fenerbahce this season.
The visitors fell to Union in the second leg of their Europa League tie this week, but managed to advance to the next round on aggregate. Now they face Greece's Olympiacos in the quarter-finals. Today's match may prove challenging, but Fenerbahce can't afford to drop points with Galatasaray performing nearly flawlessly.
With the hosts having claimed victory in 5 of their last 6 home matches, their confidence is high. Fenerbahce remains the favourite, but high individual skill levels, combined with defensive issues on the visiting side could cause significant trouble. All things considered, I anticipate at least one goal from Trabzonspor.
The match between these two attack-focused teams should be a highlight of the entire championship and offer us a lot of goals. There is no other way around it. Therefore, I believe both teams will score in this match.
