Prediction: 2-1
St Gallen
Trabzonsport will look to seal their place in the Conference League group stages when they welcome St. Gallen to their Papara Park on Thursday evening. Abdullah Avci’s troops had their chances to break the deadlock in a goalless draw in Switzerland, but they were eventually happy with the share of spoils. Trabzonspor produce much better showings at home than on the travels and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Enrico Maassen’s troops.
St. Gallen, on the other hand, are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the second leg, but preventing Trabzon from scoring at Papara Park is easier said than done. Even though both Maxi Gomez and Huseyin Turkmen remain in the recovery room, we are tempted to place our bets on the home side. Romania forward Denis Dragus is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the first leg.
Highlighted Team (Trabzonspor):
Founded on August 2, 1967, Trabzonspor are a Turkish club that compete in the Super Lig. The Karadeniz Firtinasi welcome their rivals at Medical Park Stadyumu, the venue which can hold up to 38,477 people. Trabzonspor were the dominant force in the Turkish top flight from 1975 to 1984, with the team clinching six domestic titles during that period.
The Turkish outfit booked their place in European competitions for the first time in the 1976/77, while making it to the Champions League group stages in the 2011/2012 season. Trabzonspor are well known for their claret and blue kits. After their foundation in 1967 English club Aston Villa sent a set of kits to Trabzonspor, which is the main reason why the two clubs wear the same colours.
Daniel Sturridge is the team’s most notable player. The former Liverpool man, who won the Champions League title with the Premier League side, joined the club in the summer of 2019 as a free agent.
