Starting with the hosts, while Alanyaspor might still be sat in the bottom-half of the Super Lig table, Joao Pereira's men were enjoying what was a real turn in fortunes prior to Turkey's winter break. Last seen signing off 2025 with a routine 2-0 victory against Tuesday's guests, the Thunders will be demanding a repeat performance at the Gain Park Stadium. With the mood in Pereira's camp at a season-high, the Blacks will be confident of opening the New Year with another statement of intent.

Booking their Turkish Cup group stage ticket earlier in the month as they secured a routine 2-0 victory against Vanspor, Faith Tekke's side are scrapping it out at the top of the Super Lig standings and they currently find themselves sat in bronze medal position among Turkey's elite. Marking their return from November's international break with three consecutive top-flight victories, Trabzonspor have registered 10 points from their last four Super Lig showdowns.

Turkey's Super Lig is now attracting top international stars due to lucrative offers from Galatasaray, Fenerbahce, and Besiktas, rivaling the financial might of Saudi Arabia.
