Trabzonspor, which will face Galatasaray in the league, has not had luck against its "Istanbul rivals" under the management of coach Fatih Tekke. The burgundy-blue team has not won in 8 matches against Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahçe under Tekke's management. Tekke is looking to end this poor streak by winning against Galatasaray.
In the 28th week of the Trendyol Super League, Trabzonspor will face Galatasaray at home on Saturday, April 4, under the management of head coach Fatih Tekke, who has not won in 8 matches against the "Istanbul rivals."
FATIH TEKKE CANNOT WIN AGAINST THE GIANTS OF ISTANBUL
With 60 points collected in 27 weeks, the bordo-mavililer are 4 points behind the leader Galatasaray, who has one match in hand, and are in third place, trailing Fenerbahçe on goal difference. They want to end their longing for victory against the "Istanbul rivals" and strengthen their claim at the top.
The Black Sea team has left behind bad days under the management of head coach Fatih Tekke over the past year, but they have not been able to show the same success against Beşiktaş, Galatasaray, and Fenerbahçe.
