Trabzonspor hosts Gençlerbirliği for a Turkish Super Lig clash on Sunday, seeking to rebound from recent disappointments.

Mohamed Salah, a summer free transfer from Liverpool, opened the scoring for Trabzonspor, marking his third goal across all competitions this season. However, Yira Sor equalized before halftime, and Gift Orban secured the win for the opposing team with a 90th-minute goal.
Currently, Fatih Tekke's side holds four points from three games, placing them 11th in the league. They face a challenging Gençlerbirliği team that has shown a strong start to the new season. Gençlerbirliği, after a surprise 2-1 victory over Fenerbahce and a 1-0 win against Goztepe, secured a 1-1 draw with Adama Traore's goal being canceled out.
Historically, Trabzonspor has a dominant record against Gençlerbirliği, with 48 wins in 83 encounters.
