Player to watch: Malcolm Bokele
The last time these teams met, Malcolm Bokele scored an own goal, then redeemed himself by scoring his first ever goal for Goztepe three minutes later. Interestingly, the Cameroonian defender has not been involved in any goals since then, so it will be interesting to see how he performs on Thursday evening.
