Trabzonspor:
With the Black Sea derby against Rizespor the season ends for Trabzonspor. For the first time in a few years, the traditional club on the Black Sea has once again gained a right to start the European competition and recently had to worry about it as well. Violations of UEFA’s financial fair play prevented Trabzonspor from being excluded from all European competitions, but the Black Sea club seems to have found a solution. President Erdogan, who is criticized anyway because of its political influence on Turkish football, had regulated the financial situation of the traditional club with a single phone call. Thus, Trabzonspor will definitely be represented in the Europa League in the coming season. In order to skip the qualification, Trabzonspor has the chance on the last matchday in the Süper Lig to win the third and thus direct starting position for the EL group stage. In addition to a derby win over Rizespor the team of Karaman but also needs help from Kasimpasa. Recently they were able to minimize the gap to third-placed Besiktas in the six-point game. In the derby victory against the “black eagle” the Black Sea club had a pretty dominant performance and was rewarded with a home win. Behind teams such as Galatasaray and Besiktas Trabzonspor represents the third strongest offensive of the Süper Lig.
Trabzonspor has a record of 9-4-3 in the second half of the season. The Karaman team has lost no Süper Lig game since their home defeat by Alanyaspor. Trabzonspor was unbeaten in eleven consecutive games. Trabzonspor scored at least two goals in four out of the last five games. At the end of the season, Ünal Karaman will dare no major experiments and try to take third place with Schützenhilfe. At the Black Sea derby against Rizespor it will certainly not be easy for his team on foreign terrain. Players like Yazici or Ömür are expected to be sold in the summer, so it could possibly be the last Trabzon dress for the youngsters.
