Prediction

  • Trabzonspor beat Altay 2-1 last time out. This was far from their best performance so far this season, but they managed to get the job done thanks to exceptional goalkeeping by Cakir and immaculate finishing by Cornelius. Trabzonspor are the clear title favourites and play the best football, but they continue to give away too many chances and at moments over-rely on Cakir. This might create problems against teams like Basaksehir.
  • Basaksehir cruised past Giresunspor 3-1 last time out. Belozoglu's team controlled the game from the first whistle to the end and fully deserved their win. The young manager was also able to rotate, resting some of his key players before one of the toughest away fixtures in the Super Lig. Like their opponents, Basaksehir play possession football with high tempo and short passes, so this promises to be an interesting battle, the outcome of which will depend on whose midfield prevails in the end.
  • Trabzonspor have a fantastic home record, but Basaksehir boast the potency and talent to punish them for their defensive weaknesses.
