Cup Final Preview: Galatasaray vs Trabzonspor & AC Milan vs Bologna

It’s a blockbuster Wednesday across Europe with two huge domestic cup finals.

In Turkey, Trabzonspor and Galatasaray face off in a fiery rematch just days after their league encounter. And over in Italy, AC Milan and Bologna clash in Rome for a chance to lift the Coppa Italia.

Two massive games. Two historic trophies. And one unforgettable evening of football drama. 

Let’s preview what’s at stake.

Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray (Turkish Cup Final)

Kick-off: Wednesday, 14 May – 18:45
Venue: Gaziantep Stadium

Just four days after their Super Lig meeting, Trabzonspor and Galatasaray go at it again – this time with silverware on the line.

Galatasaray ran out 2-0 winners in Saturday’s league clash, thanks to second-half goals from Abdulkerim Bardakci and Alvaro Morata. That result edged them closer to the league title – and they’ll now look to seal a domestic double.

Signed as a statement signing, Victor Osimhen has delivered in the Turkish Cup, scoring three times in as many appearances and showing why he’s considered one of the most feared strikers in world football.

Okan Buruk’s side are on a relentless run, unbeaten in 16 and with five straight wins against Trabzonspor. Osimhen, Morata and Bardakci have led the way in this cup run, while the squad’s depth has been on full display throughout.

Trabzonspor, meanwhile, are chasing their first trophy since 2022. They’ve done well to reach the final – dispatching Bodrum and Goztepe – but history isn’t on their side. They’ve lost five straight to Galatasaray and will need something special to flip the script in Gaziantep.

Stat watch: Galatasaray have won a record 18 Turkish Cups. Trabzonspor have won 9 – but lost 7 finals, including last season.

Will Galatasaray complete the double, or can Trabzonspor spring a surprise? Get your bets in now with Bet9ja.

AC Milan vs Bologna (Coppa Italia Final)

Kick-off: Wednesday, 14 May – 20:00
Venue: Stadio Olimpico

Another final, another rematch – Milan and Bologna lock horns just five days after the Rossoneri’s comeback 3-1 win at San Siro.

Milan are finding form at the perfect time. Sergio Conceição’s switch to a three-man defence has sparked life into the squad, and they’re now hunting a second trophy this season after lifting the Supercoppa. With Leão back from suspension, and Santiago Gimenez in red-hot form, the Rossoneri have the tools to end their woeful 21-year Coppa drought.

Bologna, though, are no pushovers. They’ve quietly had an excellent cup run, brushing past Atalanta and Empoli en route to their first final in over two decades. Riccardo Orsolini and Thijs Dallinga offer a potent threat up front, and Vincenzo Italiano’s side will be desperate to make history.

Fun fact: Bologna haven’t lifted the Coppa Italia since 1974. Milan have only won it once since 1977.

Will Milan get it done, or will Bologna pull off a historic upset? Have your say with Bet9ja!
