Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor Preview 

Fatih Terim is facing a selection crisis with star keeper Fernando Muslera, Radamel Falcao, Christian Luyindama, Mario Lemina, Adem Buyuk and Marcao all out.

Emre Akbaba will fill in for the injured Falcao and suspended Buyuk. Trabzonspor meanwhile, will be without Joao Pereira and Hosseini who are suspended.

Galatasaray have yet to win a single game since the restart but Trabzonspor are not in great form either.

The Black Sea based side have a history of imploding and they have struggled with the pressure in their past two games which have both ended in a draw.

Trabzonspor need to win to keep pace with leaders Basaksehir who are five points ahead with a game in hand.

Galatasaray meanwhile, will be hoping to close the gap with Trabzonspor to three points.

The visitors have been banned from European competition next season due to FFP so Galatasaray could secure a Champions League spot even if they finish third.

Trabzonspor have been the better side all season but have not been themselves of late. Neither have Galatasaray.

It is difficult to pick a winner here but the home side are missing so many players that Trabzonspor may just capitalise.
