Samsunspor

Mohamed Bayo continues up front for Samsunspor, having made his first start in the last five matches in the defeat at Erzurumspor. Fatih Kaya is still sidelined by a muscle injury after two starts in that run.

Yalçın Kayan was introduced for the final 11 minutes at Erzurumspor after starting the previous four matches, in each of which he was substituted before the end. Samsunspor also remain without Afonso Sousa, Elayis Tavsan, Jaurès Assoumou and Oskar Øhlenschlæger, all out through injury.

Trabzonspor

Franculino keeps his place in the side after scoring and setting up a goal on his first start in five matches, the 4-0 win over Galatasaray, with Paul Onuachu, who had started four of Trabzonspor's previous five matches, left out this time.

Trabzonspor will also be without Muhammed Cham and Batista Mendy, both suspended, while Okay Yokuşlu is doubtful because of a knee injury. Arseniy Batagov, Ruslan Malinovskyi and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli remain out with knee injuries. Mohamed Salah, who has started each of the last five matches, continues on the right, with Chibuike Nwaiwu again preferred to Cenk Özkacar at centre-back.
