Antalyaspor vs Trabzonspor Previews, Form and Players to Watch

Sitting eight points greater than the relegation zone, Antalyaspor have nothing to play for in this fixture now that they have secured a place in the Super Lig for next term. However, their performances throughout the season have been nowhere near up to scratch. On 44 points, the Scorpions have picked up 12 wins this season – just two of them coming away from home. Furthermore, Emre Belözoglu’s men have scored the third least amount of goals in the Super Lig this season with 37 – numbers that are no way encouraging. Their form heading into this game has not been too pleasing either. Antalyaspor have lost three games out of their last five, including a 2-1 loss to Eyüpspor in their last match.

Falling at the final hurdle is ultimately the saying you would use to describe Trabzonspor’s season. Usually a title contender, the Black Sea Storm have failed to reach any European competition this season due to them occupying seventh spot, six points away from a UEFA Conference League Qualification place. Similarly to Friday’s competitors, their away form has just not been good enough as Fatih Tekke’s outfit have only picked up two wins on their travels in the Super Lig. In the end, their form let them down, as Trabzonspor have not won a game in their last five in all competitions – losing two of them. One of these games was also their Turkish Cup Final devastation, as they bowed out to the hands of Turkish giants Galatasaray.

Antalyaspor Predicted Line-Up: Yigiter, Thalisson, Öztürk, Sari, Vural, Rakip, Kaluzinski, Balci, Safuri, Dikmen, Samudio

Jakub Kaluzinski has been up and firing this season in an Antalyaspor shirt, as the 22-year-old has picked up a whopping eight assists in the Super Lig this season. Despite not scoring a goal, this has become the defensive midfielder’s best year to date in terms of goal contributions. Furthermore, the Pole has topped the Scorpions’ season charts for most assists.

Trabzonspor Predicted Line-Up: Tepe, Eskihellac, Yokuslu, Malkocoglu, Malheiro, Zubkov, Jabol-Folcarelli, Mendy, Visca, Banza, Nwakaeme

Simon Banza has been on fire for Trabzonspor in the Super Lig this season. The striker has picked up 19 goals and four assists in the Turkish top flight, becoming the third top scorer in the entire league. To add to these number, the Congolese has also bagged three goals and two assists in the Turkish Cup. However, the 28-year-old has not found the net in his last four matches, as he looks to end what is a minor goal drought.
