Ruzomberok – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Roses” finished the previous cycle only in 5th position of the Slovak championship. At the same time, they, winning the national cup, ended that football year with a trophy. This is only the second such success in history; there was a “golden double” before that, in 2006.
The Cup success ensured a pass to the Europa League qualification. There, everything was decided on the native field in the previous round – Tobol was defeated with a 5-2 score. The club calmly endured a 0-1 defeat in Kazakhstan, especially without wasting any effort in that meeting, after that.
Trabzonspor – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Burgundy and Blues” finally regained their championship title in 2022 – the previous one was back in 1984. It was not possible to stay at the top, and the team, like everyone else, seriously lagged behind the pair of leaders, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, in the previous cycle. At the same time, the club managed to win 3rd place, which gave an opportunity to participate in the Europa League.
So far, the team, strengthened by Dragus, Barišić and Lindstrøm, has played only friendly matches. Everything was successful, but it should be noted that the rivals in sparring were not of the highest status, such as Szeged and Zeleznicar.
