Trabzonspor will be hoping to return to winning ways on Friday evening when they travel to Istanbul to take on top-flight debutants Umraniyespor in the first game of Matchday No 5 in Turkish Super Lig.
The reigning champions opened the new season with two wins in two games but went on to claim just one point from the following two outings.
If you add the UEFA Champions League elimination at the hands of Copenhagen in the playoffs, we can speak about some serious problems for Abdullah Avci and his men.
Trabzon have failed to find the back of the net in successive goalless draws against Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
They should have a nice chance to regain some confidence here against Umraniyespor who are still trying to adjust to life in the top tier.
The hosts have suffered three consecutive 0-1 defeats and have just one point from the opening our rounds of the 2022/23 season.
The latest failure came on Saturday when Umraniyespor fell 1-0 away at Adana Demirspor. A run of three straight games without a goal scored is certainly not promising for Recep Ucar and his troops, especially ahead of the clash with the reigning Super Lig champions.
It will be very interesting to see how Umraniyespor will cope with a star-studded Trabzonspor lineup here.
Knowing how motivated the visitors will be to get their campaign up and running after somewhat of a slump in form, we must say that the hosts could have big problems trying to terminate their three-game slide.

Trabzonspor have much more quality and depth in their squad and we can hardly see any other scenario but the away win coming here.
You can back the visitors to claim the spoils at the 1.61 odds. Alternatively, the Under 2.5 goals FT is a decent option knowing that both teams have been struggling offensively in their latest affairs.
