Trabzon Sports vs Roma

Trabzon were tied in regular time in both of their previous two games against Molde and eliminated Molde in a penalty shootout.

Meanwhile, in the first game of this year's Turkish Super League, the 5-1 away victory over Malatia once again proved the strong scoring ability so far this season.

This season, the team's strength has been well strengthened, with some players from the top five leagues entering the team, such as former Roma player Bruno Perez, former Parma player Ponta Gervinho and former Gothenburg player Mia Marek Hamsik.

Coach Asif can pick the strongest squad to play against Roma.

At Roma, it will be the first official game of the season. In pre-season, Roma played 8 friendly matches, won 5, drew 2 and lost 1. The most striking thing is the team's attack, which they have scored in 7 of those games.

In the summer transfer window, the club met the requirements of the new coach Jose Mourinho, transferring some players who did not conform to his strategy of building the team, while some stars joined the team. For example, the recent Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham, but he could not play in this game. Among the other new players, three are likely to start, former Wolves goalkeeper Rio Patricio, former Palmeras winger Matthias Wiener and striker Eldo Shomurodov.

In this match, Leonardo Spinazzolla on the left will be eliminated after being seriously injured during the European Championship.

For this game, we have two teams with strong attacking power and a high average score in each game. And both teams want to get a quick lead in the game, with excellent scorers on each team. Scoring from both teams is a small option, followed by the optimism that Mourinho will get his first win at Roma.

Ferreira v Tottenham Hotspur

According to Nuno in a pre-match press conference, the starting 11 who beat Manchester City 1-0 last weekend will not participate in this game. This means that Spurs will have a large rotation, mainly young players under the age of 20 on the second team. Ferreira is not a strong team, and Tottenham Hotspur may not be able to qualify with a youth player. But the first leg at Ferreira's home stadium, it will be very difficult for Spurs to hope to achieve a victory through the rotation of the second team lineup. Ferreira is undefeated and is a valuable choice.
