Trabzonspor preview: No Europe for Trabzon next season
With 47 points from 34 games in the Super Lig so far, Trabzonspor have been solid and are sitting in eighth place in the standings, but they can't really move further up, which means they won't be playing in Europe next season. They had a chance to secure a spot in the Europa League by winning the Turkish Cup, but they lost to Galatasaray 3-0 in the final.
Enis Destan, Huseyin Turkmen, Arseniy Batahov, and Stefan Savic are all out with injuries, while Batista Mendy is suspended for this game.
Predicted lineup: Tepe (GK), Malheiro, Malkocoglu, Yokuslu, Bosluk, Lundstram, Tufan, Zubkov, Cham-Saracevic, Nwakaeme & Dragus

Samsunspor preview: Looking to clinch a spot in the Europa League
Thanks to Galatasaray winning the Cup, Samsunspor only need one point from the last two games to secure a spot in the Europa League, although they will start from the later stage of the qualifiers if they finish third. They are currently in that spot in the standings, but with just one point more than Besiktas.
Samsunspor have a pretty healthy squad going into this match, with only Kingsley Schindler and Muhammet Ali Ozbaskici being questionable, but more likely to play than miss the game.
Predicted lineup: Kocuk (GK), Yavru, Satka, Drongelen, Bola, Holse, Bennasser, Ntcham, Kilinc, Dimata & Muja

Player to watch: Marius Mouandilmadji
With nine goals in the Super Lig this season, Marius has been Samsunspor's top scorer in the league, to which he also added four assists, thanks to which he also has the most goal contributions in the team overall.
The 28-year-old forward from Chad is one of the main reasons for Samsunspor's great season and with them close to clinching a spot in the Europa League, we expect Marius to do well against Trabzon.
