Trabzonspor will host Galatasaray at the Akyazi Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Turkish Super Lig campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are now targeting a return to continental football. They held on for a 1-1 draw against Antalyaspor in their last league outing, taking the lead just two minutes after kickoff via a Taxiarchis Fountas strike before their opponents scored a deserved leveler midway through the second half.
Trabzonspor sit third in the league table with 37 points from 20 matches and will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Galatasaray are currently also in good form as they look to successfully defend their Super Lig title. They picked up a 2-1 win over Kayserispor last time out in the league, following that up with a 4-1 comeback win over second-tier Umraniyespor in the fifth round of the Turkiye Kupasi on Thursday.
The visitors sit second in the table with 51 points. They are just one point behind rivals Fenerbahce at the top of the pile and could leapfrog them with a win on Sunday.
