Trabzonspor’s rise in the standings could continue in this match.

The team is starting to resemble the one that finished in the top four two seasons ago, especially when playing at home. They have been dominant on their own turf, winning five games and drawing one, while scoring 20 goals and conceding just two. Even more impressive, four of those victories were clean sheets, highlighting their defensive solidity.

Tonight, they face Eyüpspor, the team currently in fourth place—the very position Trabzonspor is aiming to catch. Eyüpspor comes into this match in good form, having gone unbeaten in their last eight games. However, during that streak, they have faced a top-six opponent only once—a 1-1 draw at home against Fenerbahçe.

Adding to their challenge, Eyüpspor will be without their starting left-back, Erkin, which could leave them vulnerable.
