Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for København and Trabzonspor.
København form and stats
København was eliminated in the play-offs last season in the Europa League.København have played three Superliga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The striker Biel was announced as "man of the match" for København with a rating of 8.01/10. Biel served one assist, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 44 successful passes (of 48 total).
Before that, København had a Superliga home game versus Brøndby which ended with a victory 4-1.The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does København handle that role?

Trabzonspor form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Super Lig travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats.
The Trabzonspor goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 228 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Trabzonspor had fun at their own home (Parken) last time out, beating Hatayspor 1-0. Ömür scored. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Avcı when Ömür scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 46th minute. Midfield player Bakasetas was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.12/10. Bakasetas hit seven key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 34 successful passes (of 37 total).
Preceding that game was the away Super Lig victory against Istanbulspor with the score of 2-0.Trabzonspor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.
The schedule is very tough for Trabzonspor now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Super Lig game at Antalyaspor is waiting in only four days.
It's early days yet, but Trabzonspor has scored 2 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
