Our prediction for the match Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray
The club from Şenol Güneş was unable to repeat its recent success in the previous cycle, with the return of the championship title. Still, it managed to take a high 3rd place. Well, Okan Buruk defended his title of the best, winning an extremely difficult and stubborn race with Fenerbahçe. To succeed, the club needed to get more than a hundred points!
Speaking about the new cycle, Trabzon could not find a game for a long time. And only after another coaching castling, under the leadership of Tekke, it is possible to really outline the fight for the rise to the European competition. The giants from Istanbul had a disastrous start, with a quick failure in the Champions League qualification (the club lost twice to the very first opponent, the crisis-ridden Young Boys) and a 0-5 misfire in the Super Cup confrontation with Beşiktaş. As for the Europa League, everything ended with a defeat made by AZ in February, in the 1st round of the play-offs. At the same time, the team gradually increased the lead, from the same Fenerbahçe, in the Süper Lig. The previous round, where there was a meeting with Trabzonspor, brought a “grandmaster” 2-0 score.
The club from Trabzon got 7 points in the group of the cup in the company of Alanyaspor, Erzin Belediye and Rizespor. And Bodrum (3-2) and Goztepe (2-0) were overcome in the play-offs. Osimhen and the company had got only 1 victory at the group stage, over Boluspor, when the matches with Istanbul and Konyaspor brought draws. The team knocked out the main enemy, Fenerbahçe, in the quarter-finals (there was an incident with Mourinho). Then, the club crushed Konyaspor in the 1/2, match on the away field – 5-1.
