Trabzonspor will face Crystal Palace at the Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort on Wednesday in a friendly clash between the two sides.
Trabzonspor have had mixed results this season but still have their sights set on the European spots. They were held to a 1-1 draw against Ankaragucu in their last league game before the international break, marking their fourth draw in their last five Super Lig games.
The Turkish outfit will host league leaders Fenerbahce on their return to competitive action on Christmas Day and will continue their preparations for the game this week.
Crystal Palace have had their struggles this season but are pushing for the top half of the Premier League standings. They were beaten 1-0 by newly-promoted Nottingham Forest in their last league outing and were largely toothless offensively, failing to register a single shot on target as Wilfried Zaha squandered a first-half penalty kick.
The Eagles have scheduled three friendlies for the World Cup break and will play the second of those games on Wednesday before facing Napoli at the weekend.
