Will Oppong start in the starting XI for Fenerbahçe?

Ahead of the Göztepe match, the competition for places in Fenerbahçe's defensive line is taking a new shape. Kojo Oppong, who came on in the 56th minute of the Galatasaray derby, stood out among the coaching staff's starting XI options with his performance in the time he spent on the pitch.

Archie Brown received a red card in the derby and will not be able to play in the Göztepe match, which has put a change in the defensive line on the agenda. For the yellow-and-navy side, it is seen as a strong possibility that the 22-year-old Ghanaian centre-back starts the match in the starting XI. It is reported that the young player's performance in the derby has given him an advantage in the race for a place.

Earlier, İsmail Kartal explained his decision to leave Oppong on the bench by citing a lack of experience. Kartal said the young player had not yet seen how much pressure these matches are played under.

Last season, Oppong played 29 league matches and 7 European cup matches for Nice in France's Ligue 1, and in his career he has competed against strong opponents such as Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon, Monaco and Marseille. He has also played for the Ghana national team.
