Kayserispor and Trabzonspor will both take a break from their league assignments this week as they face off at the Kadir Has Stadium in the second leg of the Turkish Cup semifinals.
The home side have performed impressively in the cup competition so far, seeing off league giants Fenerbahce and Besiktas in the last 16 and quarterfinals respectively. However, they lost the first leg 1-0 and will now have it all to do in the return leg on Tuesday.
Kayserispor have lifted the Turkiye Kupasi title once in their history, winning the competition back in the 2007-08 season and are now vying for a place in the final.
Trabzonspor have had a memorable season, winning their first Super Lig title in almost four decades and are targeting a domestic double. They picked up a 1-0 win in the first leg, with Danish striker Andreas Cornelius scoring the winner in the 87th minute to send the home fans into raptures.
The away side are nine-time winners of the cup competition, last lifting the title two seasons ago. They will be looking to complete the job for a place in the final this week.
