Trabzonspor will take on Fenerbahce in what will arguably be the game of the weekend in the Turkish Super Lig. The much-awaited Saturday evening contest at the Medical Park Stadyumu will be between the struggling defending champions and the current leaders. Trabzonspor have not been able to replicate the form anywhere near what they showed last season. Even though they are sitting several positions away from the top spot, there is not much to separate them in terms of points.
Fenerbahce have been deserved leaders in the Turkish Super Lig till now. The only blip was suffering a surprise home defeat to Giresunspor in the last game before the World Cup. They are still at the top with 29 points from 13 games. Meanwhile, Trabzonspor are six points behind them and are lying seventh in the table with 23 points, having played the same 13 matches. They have won only one of their last five league matches – a run which they will hope to rectify soon.

There were cup games in midweek, which might have forced both sets of coaches to use some of their main players in that tie. As a result, a lot of changes can be expected in both starting lineups for this match. Trabzonspor will be sweating over the fitness situation of Jean-Philippe Gbamin, who is on loan from Everton. It is unclear if long-term injury absentee Edin Visca could make a return in this match. Emrehan Gedikli and Bruno Peres could also be back from injuries for them. On the other hand, Fenerbahce will continue to miss Luan Peres and Nazim Sangare for the long term through injuries.
Trabzonspor possible line-up: Cakir, Larsen, Hugo, Bartra, Elmali, Bakasetas, Hamsik, Bardhi, Visca, Trezeguet, Gomez
Fenerbahce possible line-up: Bayindir, Kadioglu, Szalai, Aziz, Alioski, Arao, Kahveci, Zajc, Valencia, King, Batshuayi
