Trabzonspor vs İstanbul Başakşehir LIVE  ON beIN SPORTS

Mohamed Salah starts for Trabzonspor against İstanbul Başakşehir in the Süper Lig, marking his first start in the Turkish league after making his league debut off the bench against Kasımpaşa.

The Egyptian forward had already started for Trabzonspor in the Europa League Playoffs, but this will be his first opportunity to start a Süper Lig match.

Trabzonspor is looking for a positive result early in the campaign, while İstanbul Başakşehir will attempt to contain a side featuring Salah and Paul Onuachu among its main attacking threats.

Mohamed Salah makes his first Süper Lig start for Trabzonspor

All eyes will be on Salah, who makes his first Süper Lig start for Trabzonspor against İstanbul Başakşehir.

The Egyptian had already started for Trabzonspor in the Europa League Playoffs, but his league debut came off the bench against Kasımpaşa, when he entered in the 58th minute.

Salah immediately looked to make an impact with his pace and ability to create danger from wide areas.

One of his best plays came when he delivered a cross that Paul Onuachu was unable to connect with. Salah also met a ball at the far side of the area but sent his effort over the crossbar.

He also came close to creating Trabzonspor's second goal with a dangerous free-kick delivery into the box.

Now, against İstanbul Başakşehir, Salah gets his first opportunity to start a Süper Lig match for Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor looks to take another step with Salah

Having Mohamed Salah on the field from the opening whistle provides Trabzonspor with another attacking weapon as it looks to capitalize on the Egyptian's pace and ability to beat defenders.

His connection with Paul Onuachu will be one of the key aspects to watch after the pair already looked to combine during Salah's league debut.

For the Egyptian forward, the match also represents another step in his adaptation to Turkish soccer and an opportunity to score his first Süper Lig goal.
