Trabzonspor enters this Turkish Cup quarter-final with a rich history in the competition, seeking their 10th title. Having topped their group convincingly, the team, reportedly managed by Fatih Tekke, aims to leverage home advantage at Papara Park. Their last cup triumph came in the 2019-2020 season against Alanyaspor, and after finishing runners-up last season, the motivation is high to reclaim the trophy.
Bodrum FK, despite being the away team, also had a strong group stage performance, finishing second only to Beşiktaş. They arrive in Trabzon with the clear goal of causing an upset and securing a historic semi-final berth.
Both teams are dealing with notable absences due to injuries, which could impact team selection and tactics.
