Club with financial worries

General H2H stats vs Trabzonspor (in all competitions): 4W 4D 11L

Home H2H stats vs Trabzonspor (in all competitions): 3W 4D 2L

Karabükspor are unbeaten at home vs Trabzonspor since 22.05.2011 (3W 2D 0L since then)

Before the last game Anthony Popovic was fired due to poor results (1W 0D 7L in the Süper Lig as head coach of Karabükspor), team will be managed by Levent Açıkgöz, youth coordinator of Karabükspor (he has no big experience as head coach, he was head coach of reserves between 2010 and 2013)

Four games ago the chairman of Kardemir (main sponsor of Karabükspor) would like to know where is the money what his company gave to the club (32 million Turkish Lira, cca. 7 million Euro) before he help for the club

Second game of temporary head coach

Evgen Seleznevs contract has been terminated by mutual agreement (probably due to financial problems)

The online version of Fanatik reported that four romanian players of Karabükspor, Gheorghe Teodor Grozav, Cristian Tanase, Paul Papp and Gabriel Torje will be unavailable until 5th of January. Ahmet Sahin will also miss the game

The printed version of Fanatik expecting that Kerim Zengin will start in the rightback position instead of Osman Celik. The newspaper added Ferhat Görgülü to the list of absences due to injury

Trabzonspor

Jan Durica is back in the squad after missing last match and it is big boost

Good atmosphere inside the club

Team played an important cup game in midweek

Trabzonspor are winless at away vs Karabükspor since 22.05.2011 (0W 2D 3L since then)

Trabzonspor have won 5 Süper Lig matches in a row

The online version of Fanatik expecting that Durica will play instead of the suspended Demirok, and Onazi could start instead of Kucka, who also suspended.
