Separated by just four points at the top end of the table, the stakes could hardly be higher. The Black Sea Storm arrive in red-hot form, riding a five-game winning streak that has reignited their title ambitions, while Galatasaray remain firmly in control of their own destiny with games in hand.

The hosts’ surge has been driven by the remarkable form of Paul Onuachu. The Super Eagles striker has been virtually unstoppable in recent weeks, scoring in seven consecutive league matches and leading the Golden Boot race. Backed by a vocal home crowd, Trabzonspor will look to lean on his physical presence and clinical finishing to break down the visitors.

Galatasaray, however, travel to the Black Sea coast under pressure. Victor Osimhen is ruled out through injury, while suspensions and fitness concerns have left Okan Buruk short of key attacking options. Despite that, the reigning champions still boast enough quality to threaten, with experienced forward Mauro Icardi expected to lead the line.
