Kayserispor's manager previously worked at Bursaspor. He therefore expects a great atmosphere for the match. Gerin underlined that the team must not become complacent and stated they are preparing well. He wants to use the advantage of playing at home, noting that playing the away leg in the second half is also a plus. He expressed a desire to go into that second half with credits.
