National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Yeni Malatyaspor or Hekimoğlu Trabzon that keep their silverware dream alive.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Hekimoğlu Trabzon, who are travelling more than 1900 kilometers to play this game.
Yeni Malatyaspor form and stats
Malatyaspor participated in Turkish Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals and lost against Sivasspor.3-2-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Lig numbers at home for Yeni Malatyaspor so far this season.
It's back home for Malatyaspor, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Fenerbahce away with the result 3-0. Umut Bulut, Adem Büyük and Youssouf Ndayishimiye found the net in that victory. Nobody expected Malatyaspor to beat Fenerbahce in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. In the match before that, Yeni Malatyaspor hosted Istanbul Basaksehir and drew the Super Lig game 1-1.
Yeni Malatyaspor goalkeeper Ertaç Özbir did an outstanding job against Fenerbahce with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Yeni Malatyaspor as they have a new game in only four days, a Super Lig match thankfully also at home. Kasimpasa are visiting.
