Kasımpaşa – Trabzonspor · The XI Fatih Tekke is expected to field according to pre-match coverage. All eleven names are in the club's current squad, but until the teamsheet is official this remains a projection.
No source we can verify had published a probable XI for this side before the match.

The XI Fatih Tekke is expected to field according to pre-match coverage. All eleven names are in the club's current squad, but until the teamsheet is official this remains a projection.
Formation 4-3-3Trabzonspor's new signing Mohamed Salah was included in the squad that travelled to Istanbul for the Kasımpaşa match. Pre-match coverage expects him to start on the bench rather than in the XI, with minutes later in the game. This is a reported expectation rather than a club statement. It will be settled when the teamsheet lands — and at that moment this panel gives way to the official line-up.
Both Okay Yokuşlu and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli are out. That means the midfield three is shaped by necessity rather than preference: Ozan Tufan, Bouchouari and Malinovskyi. The balance is notable. Malinovskyi pushes on, Bouchouari links, and Ozan Tufan can both win the ball and arrive late in the box. But without a natural holding midfielder, who takes charge of transition defence is an open question.
Paul Onuachu's height and presence in the box give Trabzonspor a natural reference point in attack. Crosses from wide and second balls can be expected to gather around him. That is also a risk: an attack built around a single reference becomes predictable for a defence. Saviolo and Aral Şimşir looking for depth from wide areas is the way to break that predictability.
Ernest Muçi and Arseniy Batagov are unavailable alongside Okay Yokuşlu and Jabol-Folcarelli. Four absentees narrow the options in attack and defence alike. Savić and Nwaiwu are expected at centre-back; with Batagov out, the understanding of that pairing is tested straight away on the opening weekend.
