The most interesting match of the 22nd turnout of the Turkish Superliga, will be played on Sunday afternoon between the sixth Trabzonspor and the second Basaksehir, who currently has 10 points more. However, the interesting thing is that Trabzonspor is in a series of six consecutive draws, while Basakhsehir with a defeat in the last round by Fenerbahce interrupted a series of five wins and one draw. We should also add that the last two of their duels ended without a winner.
All this tells us that Trabzonsporan certainly has something to hope for in this Sunday match, especially since they are playing on their field, where they were last defeated in October last year. And in that period, the team was taken over by coach Calimbay, which was apparently a great move from the management, since they had a series of five consecutive wins in late November and early December, and were thus again involved in the battle for the positions that lead to European competitions.
However, in the last five championship duels, they have played five draws, so they already have seven points less than the fourth Besiktas, while they were recently eliminated from the Turkish Cup by Konyaspor. That is why they urgently needed a victory to the restore their confidence, so we already in this duel with Basaksehir expect a much more offensive game, especially because only the formerly injured goalkeeper Esteban and center-back Akbas will not be able to play in this match.
Probable lineups Trabzonspor: Kivrak – Pereira, Demirok, Hubocan, Novak – Yokuslu, Kucka – Omur, Sosa, Yazici – Yilmaz
We have already said for Basaksehir, that they were defeated in their field with 2-0 from the much-known city rival Fenerbahce, which automatically led to the shift on the leading position in Superliga, which is now occupied by the team of Galatasaray. However, the second Basakhsehir still has only one point backlog, but the remaining two teams from Istanbul were also included in the fight, Fenerbahce and Besiktas, which currently have only three or four points behind the leading Galata.
That is why Basaksehir announced that Trabzonspor would play a lot more aggressive and with the aim to return to their winning habits, since they had a series of five wins and a single draw before the defeat by Fener. Especially because the experienced midfielder Emre returns after the suspension, so only the injured midfielder Mossoro and striker Elia will be absent in this Sunday's derby.
Probable lineups Istanbul Basaksehir: Babacan – Caicara, Attamah, Epureanu, Clichy – Emre, Tekdemir – Višća, Kahveci, Napoleoni – Adebayor
Even though the points are more necessary to Basaksehir, which is still in the competition for the title, we also have to know that the team of Trabzonspor has not been defeated in the championship for four months, so we expect a match with goals on both sides.
Pick: both teams to score
