Trabzonspor will aim to bounce back at game against Galatasaray.

Trabzonspor will be coming to very important for them as it would be meeting with Galatasaray during Super League 4th week game as it would be aiming to end its unsuccessful period of losing to Antalyaspor and being relegated to Copenhagen at Champions League.

Trabzonspor which without doubt did start this season with an aim to defend its title and provide successful season in Europe, is currently going through unwanted difficult period. Without doubt, it would be seeing Galatasaray game as a chance to bounce back from recent results and once again get confidence for upcoming games. It needs to be mentioned that despite of this two recent games, Trabzonspor actually did provide some good and effective performances especially in attack and did look bit better compare to Galatasaray. Trabzonspor if does come out at its best form could be seen as favourite to some extend.

Trabzonspor hence would be seeing this game as good bouncing back and expects to provide performance according to that.

Galatasaray would need to raise performance level to get good result against Trabzonspor

Even through Galatasaray did win 2 games in duration of 3 games during this season, it has only scored 2 goals with both coming from Bafetembi Gomis as he came from substitution.

This factor by itself shows that Galatasaray does have some lacking of performance and attacking game with needing to improve its performance without doubt if it wants to get win against Trabzonspor. Even through Galatasaray does have signs that it would be improving as season would be progressing when looking at quality of the squad, its still not in that level. In similar manner, as for Trabzonspor win in this game would let them gain confidence and motivation, similar case would be without doubt for Galatasaray. But it needs to raise tempo and provide much more effective attacking game if it wants to get positive result against Trabzonspor.

Galatasaray does have quality to get win but it needs to raise performance level to get result which it would be seeking for.

Al Ittihad Kabri loaned Galatasaray player Alexandru Cicaldau

Al Ittihad Kabri has loaned Galatasaray player Alexandru Cicaldau for 1-year as side were looking how to either loan and sell him for this season.

It needs to  be mentioned that Cicaldau did join Galatasaray with high expectations which he did fulfill but loaning him could be good option for him as Cicaldau would be expected to get more key role at his new club and provide some effective game in the Arabic side becoming even more key player. With getting some playing time he might get back some confidence and improve his level and after that Galatasaray might even consider to keep him for upcoming season. However, in here plays role of Cicaldau as he would need to use this opportunity if he wants to stay at Galatasaray.

Cicaldau did have opportunity to improve his level of performance at Al Ittihad Kabri and its question only how much he would be using it.
