Just days after their league encounter, Trabzonspor and Galatasaray face off again—this time on neutral ground in Gaziantep for the Turkish Cup final on Wednesday.

For the second straight season and a remarkable sixteenth time overall, Trabzonspor have punched their ticket to the Turkish Cup final after brushing aside Goztepe with a composed 2-0 semifinal display on April 20, setting the stage for yet another shot at silverware.

After a string of lukewarm performances in the group phase, Galatasaray finally clicked into gear during the knockout rounds as they first edged arch-rivals Fenerbahce 2-1 in a fiery Istanbul derby, then steamrolled Konyaspor 5-1 to storm into a record-breaking 24th Turkish Cup final appearance.

This will mark the fourth time these fierce contenders clash for national cup glory, with Galatasaray eyeing a third triumph in such encounters, although they will be keen to avoid a repeat of the 1994-95 finale where Trabzonspor outclassed them 4-2 on aggregate. Despite showcasing impressive consistency by reaching the cup final for the second year running, it seems the Black Sea Storm are heading for another heartbreak just like last season, as their recent head-to-head record against the Istanbul powerhouse is bleak with five straight defeats and 14 goals conceded including a 2-0 setback just days ago that brought Galatasaray within touching distance of their 25th Super Lig crown. There’s no chance Trabzonspor will approach this Wednesday’s headline clash waving a white flag, but it’s hard to envision them truly unsettling a red-hot Galatasaray outfit that’s riding a scintillating seven-match winning run powered by a ruthless attacking unit that has smashed home four or more goals in three of their last four outings. Once again, Trabzonspor’s ongoing campaign in this competition deserves recognition, but there’s still a sense they lack the squad depth and two-way strength to go toe-to-toe with a rampant Galatasaray side that has been steamrolling opponents lately and is hell-bent on wrapping up a domestic double come midweek.
