Salah Looking for Away Goal

In Week 9 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Trabzonspor face Çaykur Rizespor away in a Black Sea derby. All eyes will be on Muhammed Salah, who sits at the top of the goalscoring race with 8 league goals.

The Egyptian has scored in his Trabzon matches this season against Başakşehir, Gençlerbirliği, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. At home he has contributed 7 goals and 2 assists. He wants to carry this consistency in front of his own fans onto the road.

However, the picture is different away from home. In 4 away matches with Trabzonspor, Salah has found the net only once. Apart from his goal against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler, he was unable to contribute to the scoreline against Kasımpaşa, Konyaspor and Samsunspor.

Salah's performance in the Rizespor derby will be decisive for the attacking strength of the claret-and-blues. Whether the striker can take his home scoring form on the road will shape both the course of the match and his position in the goalscoring race.
