Salah is expected to play an important role in Trabzonspor's attacking plans.

His movement, ability to create chances, and experience in European competitions could make him a key player against Freiburg.

Trabzonspor Aim to Continue Their Winning Run

Trabzonspor enter the match in strong form after winning their opening two Conference League games.

The Turkish side defeated Finnish club KuPS 4-2 before securing a 2-0 victory over Scottish team Hearts, collecting six points from their first two European matches.

Salah scored in both games, recording two goals and two assists across his opening two appearances in the competition.

The team also recently defeated Gaziantep 2-0 in the Turkish league, giving the players additional confidence ahead of the European fixture.

Freiburg, meanwhile, have experienced mixed results in Europe this season.

The German club opened their campaign with a 3-2 victory over Jablonec before suffering a 3-0 defeat against Monaco.

Despite that setback, Freiburg remain a dangerous opponent, and Trabzonspor will need to stay organized and take advantage of their attacking opportunities.

Reis will be hoping his players can maintain their strong performances while making the most of their home advantage.

Salah's presence could give Trabzonspor an important attacking advantage, especially with his ability to score goals and create opportunities for his teammates.

A victory would take Trabzonspor to nine points from three European matches and strengthen their position in the competition.

For now, attention turns to the official starting lineup, with supporters waiting to see whether Salah will lead the attack from the opening whistle.
