Trabzonspor will take on Monaco in round 4 of the UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will take place at the Medical Park Stadium in Trabzon on Thursday, 13 October.
Trabzonspor finally regained their league title last season. “Burgundy blue” was founded in the middle of the last century. They became a legend in Turkish football and became the champion team six times between 1976-1984. Although the new “gold” was not to be found for nearly four decades, the wards Abdullay Avji stood out as the best in the country in the last draw. There are too many domestic misfires, so there is no such thing. The Turks also lost in qualification in Champions League to Copenhagen (1-2,0-0). They lost in qualification to the Europa League with a home win over Red Star (2-1), but they also lost away matches and conceded 3 goals in Monaco and Ferecvaros.
Montenegro gradually gained momentum. Infuriatingly, the “Monegasques” repeated the same scenario from a year back. The 3rd position in Ligue 1 had been taken in 2021. Niko Kovac’s team lost the Champions League qualification in a not very deserved loss. It was possible to retain the “bronze”, in domestic competition, under Clement. However, they lost again in extra time at the selection on the road in Eindhoven to PSV. Monaco gained momentum only recently, as evidenced by the Europa League. After a Belgrade victory over Red Star by 1-0, the French lost in Belgrade to “Louis II” Ferencvaros. Last Thursday, however, we were able to score a comfortable 3-1 win in our arena against the Turks. Ben Yedder, who scored twice, but Wissam converted a penalty to score the second goal, and Embolo, who assisted at the first and final goals.
The first ever match between the two teams was held on October 6. Experts predict that Monaco will now be the favorite in this confrontation. However, Trabzonspor is not likely to bow to his home fans and we suggest betting on “total over 2.5 goals”.
Prediction: More than 2.5 goals.
