Trabzonspor will be aiming to overturn a 1-0 disadvantage when they collide with Ferencváros in the second leg of the Europa League playoff round on August 27.
Ferencváros Have the Home Advantage For Crucial Second Leg
Balázs Borbély’s Ferencváros will have a lead to defend in the second leg after an excellent 1-0 win in Turkey last week.
Confidence within the squad will be high following a reliable run of form at the start of the season, winning back-to-back encounters without conceding as well as avoiding defeat in their previous three.
Kristoffer Zachariassen will be a key player for the hosts in the final third after registering two goal involvements in his last four starts. Ferencváros will be without Cadu and Ibrahim Cisse for the second leg.
Ferencváros predicted lineup vs Trabzonspor (4-4-2): Dibusz; Nagy, Raemaekers, Gomez, Zohore; Yusuf, Rommens, Corbu, O’Dowda; Joseph, Zachariassen
Salah Key to Trabzonspor’s Chances
Fatih Tekke’s Trabzonspor will have the odds stacked against them this week, as they bid to overturn a first leg disadvantage.
The Turkish giants have not won in three of their latest four fixtures, but they did bounce back to winning form over the weekend with a domestic victory against Istanbul Basaksehir.
Mohamed Salah will be key to his team’s chances on Thursday, and the Egyptian is in excellent form after scoring twice over the weekend. Okay Yokuslu and Arseniy Batahov are absent due to injuries, and Chibuike Nwaiwu is unavailable due to suspension.
