Trabzonspor have managed just one away win all season.
Trabzonspor's most recent Super Lig match 10 October 2026 ended in a 3-0 away win over Samsunspor, with all three goals coming before half-time. The hosts had more shots - 23 to 13 - and held 56% possession, but Trabzonspor edged them on shots on target: 7 to 6.
The win over Samsunspor was an important one for the club. It was Trabzonspor's first away victory of the 2026/27 season, having previously gone three consecutive defeats and one draw on the road. The Turkish club have shown a high level of attacking output this season, averaging 1.8 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per match. Away from home, however, scoring becomes harder - in 10 of their last 11 away matches, the team have not scored more than twice. Mohammed Salah remains their main attacking threat, with seven goals and three assists to his name.

Total Goals Prediction
KuPS have played seven consecutive matches with under 2.5 goals, which is consistent with their low-scoring home form: in their last 10 home matches they have averaged just 0.75 goals scored per game and 1.25 conceded. However, Trabzonspor's away statistics - 1 goal scored and 1.6 conceded per match - suggest a third goal is possible, which creates some tension around the 2.5 line. That said, Total Goals - Under 2.5 at 2.18* remains a reasonable option for cautious bettors.
Reliable Bet
KuPS have scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 Conference League matches. Their average scoring rate this season is just 1 goal per match, and 0.75 per match across their last 10 home games. This consistent trend and the underlying statistics point to KuPS Team Total - Under 1.5 Goals at 1.23* as a reliable option.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are 0:1 (13.43%), 1:1 (11.08%) and 1:2 (9.12%). Of these, a narrow Trabzonspor win carries the highest probability. The remaining options have fairly similar probabilities, which points to an expected low-scoring match with a slight advantage for the away side.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
β Editorial Prediction
KuPS are heading into the Conference League in poor form. They have managed just one win in their autumn matches, though heavy defeats have been rare. The team play in a pragmatic, compact style. Trabzonspor have struggled to put together convincing away wins, so a dominant victory from the favourites seems unlikely here. The hosts' pragmatic approach and the visitors' weakness in attack away from home should be the defining factors in this match. The main bet for this game is Total Goals - Under 3.
