"Mounting an impressive second-half comeback at home against Besiktas over the weekend as they eventually snatched a thrilling 3-3 draw, Trabzonspor should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Booking their Turkish Cup group stage ticket earlier in the month as they secured a routine 2-0 victory against Vanspor, Faith Tekke's side are scrapping it out at the top of the Super Lig standings and they currently find themselves sat in bronze medal position among Turkey's elite."
"Likewise, rightfully receiving plenty of plaudits from across the continent, Wednesday's hosts are unbeaten in all of their previous 12 domestic appearances across all competitions (eight wins, four draws). With that extended purple patch stemming all the way back to a 1-0 loss against Fenerbahce on September 14th, the former Denizlispor boss should be smelling a real opportunity. Opening up the 2025/26 campaign by losing just one of their first six Super Lig appearances,"
"Opening up the 2025/26 campaign by losing just one of their first six Super Lig appearances, Alanyaspor had briefly cemented their spot as one of Turkey's ultimate surprise packages. However, putting in another toothless performance over the weekend as they had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Kayserispor, Joao Pereira's side have largely have struggled to find any kind of stability over the past couple of months."
Several midweek matches feature across European cups including EFL Cup quarter-finals and the Turkish Cup group stage, with additional matchups from Scotland and Switzerland. Trabzonspor recovered to draw 3-3 with Besiktas and earlier beat Vanspor 2-0 to secure Turkish Cup group-stage qualification. Faith Tekke's team sit third in the Super Lig, are unbeaten in their last 12 domestic matches (eight wins, four draws), and have collected ten points from their last four league games. Alanyaspor began the season strongly but drew 0-0 with Kayserispor and have struggled for consistency and goals under Joao Pereira.
