Team News

Rizespor
Trabzonspor
  • Manager Ilhan Palut has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Serkan Asan has suffered a knee injury that will keep him out of contention until late December.
  • Serdar Saatci, who wasn't expected to start here, is also injured.

Prediction

  • Rizespor were beaten 2-1 by Sivasspor last time out. They should have gotten at least a point but once again, Palut's team was undone by their lack of finishing skills. Against a Trabzon side characterized by shambolic defending, they will create quite a few chances.
  • Trabzonspor were beaten 3-2 by Fenerbahce last time out. They scored twice from the penalty spot and both decisions were dubious to say the least - a point Mourinho made a few times during his post-match conference. Trabzonspor are not playing well and Gunes's insistence on players who have lost their pace, such as Visca and Nwakaeme, is hurting this team's chances. However, with Banza in the starting XI, they are very likely to find the net here.
