Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor Lineups and Last Match
Galatasaray
Galatasaray only drew 0-0 away vs Kayserispor last season as they opened the defence of their domestic title. The display was scrappy and somewhat unfocused. That game came between the 2 legs of the vital Champions League qualifier vs Ljubljana.
On Wednesday a nearby home showing saw Galata edge the second leg of this tie 1-0 at home and progress with a minimum advantage. The display was shaky again and it seems right now the squad struggle to find the right balance between Europe and the Super Lig.
With the vital final Champions League playoff vs Molde starting next Tuesday Galatasaray could be tempted to rest some of their regulars now. At least there are no injury issues in the squad.
Predicted Lineup – Muslera (GK), Boey, Nelsson, Bardakci, Dubois, Kutlu, Oliveira, Yilmaz, Mertens, Akturkoglu & Icardi
Trabzonspor
Trabzon opened their season with a solid 1-0 home win vs Antalyaspor. Defender Denswil scored very early on and after that, with a hugely commanding display, he made sure his team keep a clean sheet.
Trabzon ended last season losing 9 of their last 11 away league games and the focus is on improving on that.
The options in the flanks are limited as the new main right winger Orsic is out injured until Christmas. Also, Visca picked up a knock in round 1 and now threatens to miss. If this happens playmaker Bardhi could be used in a wide position.
Predicted Lineup – Cakir (GK), Larsen, Benkovic, Denswil, Elmali, Kourbelis, Omur, Bardhi, Bakasetas, Trezeguet & Bozok

Player to Watch: Stefano Denswil
Trabzon’s centre-back Stefano Denswil not only produced 7 successful tackles and 11 interceptions in round 1 to help his team to a clean sheet but he also scored the only goal of the game.
The big Dutchman is a key player for Trabzon and he can contribute at both ends in any match as his display in the curtain opener showed. We back Denswil to have another great showing now as he will be very high on confidence.
