Trabzonspor vs Hearts Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 22 October 2026
🔉 In the second round of the UEFA Europa Conference League, Trabzonspor host Hearts. The visitors opened their campaign with a home draw against Nordsjaelland, while the Turkish side got off to a confident start with a 4-2 win over KuPS and will be looking to extend their winning run. The gap in quality and experience is clear, but Hearts have already shown they can make life difficult for their opponents.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have never met before. This is their first ever head-to-head match.
Trabzonspor: a winning streak against the giants
After losing to Konyaspor (0-1) on 12 September, Trabzonspor put together a run of four consecutive wins, each of them convincing. They scored at least two goals in every one of those matches, and the opposition was far from ordinary: they beat Galatasaray 4-0 and Fenerbahçe 2-0 at home, then won away at Samsunspor (3-0) and KUPS (4-2) in the Conference League.
A notable feature of this run has been early goals. Trabzonspor scored before half-time in all four wins, and in 6 of their last 7 matches they have found the net in the first half. Big scorelines, however, remain relatively rare: in their previous 20 home matches, they scored four or more goals on only two occasions, keeping it to a maximum of three in the other 18.

Hearts: Thrashed by Celtic and struggling at the back
Hearts go into this match on the back of a painful result in Scotland: a 1-7 away defeat to Celtic, with five of those goals conceded before half-time. It is already their third defeat in nine Premiership rounds. They remain third in the table, but repeating last season's achievement - when they were only pipped to the title on the final day - looks extremely difficult.
Their opening Conference League match was a mixed affair. Hearts drew 1-1 with Nordsjælland at home: Oisin McEntee put them ahead on 33 minutes, but they could not hold on as the visitors equalised on 86. By the numbers, Hearts were the more dangerous side - xG 1.89 to 0.84, shots 20-11, shots on target 7-3 - but they were unable to convert that pressure into goals.

Latest news
Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor have some squad concerns. Ruslan Malinovskyi has been out for over a month, while Arseniy Batagov has only just returned to group training and has picked up another injury. The participation of Paul Onuachu and Cihan Çanak is in doubt. Mohamed Salah, who has contributed 9 goals and 4 assists this season, may not play the full match due to a busy schedule.
Heart of Midlothian
Hearts have significant defensive absences. Centre-back Thomas Bjørn Magnusson will miss the match through a health issue, which will create problems in the air. Stuart Findlay is also out - he could have covered both centre-back and left flank. The two absences noticeably weaken what is already an inconsistent defence for the visitors.
Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed in 9 of Hearts' last 10 away matches, pointing to high scoring in their games on the road. Both teams also show strong averages for the season and over their last 10 matches: 2.1 goals per game each. On that basis, we're backing Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.44*.
Corners Prediction
In 6 of Trabzonspor's last 7 home matches, the total corners has been under 10.5. This is a consistent trend that supports the case for backing the low corners outcome. We recommend Total Corners - Under 10.5 at odds of 1.49*.
Safer Bet
In 22 of Trabzonspor's last 24 matches, the total has been under 4.5 goals, which points to the consistency of this outcome over a long run. The bet is well supported by the trend and looks a reliable option at odds of 1.26*.
Correct Score Prediction
The algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines for this match: 1-0 (10.55%), 2-0 (10.37%) and 2-1 (9.59%). All three point to a moderately low-scoring outcome with Trabzonspor in the ascendancy. The 1-0 result carries the highest probability, though the gap between the top three is minimal.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Trabzonspor are in excellent form: four wins in a row, including victories over Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Their attack has been consistent, and scoring early in the first half has become a hallmark of this side. Hearts come into the match on the back of a 1-7 thrashing by Celtic and with defensive absences - the lack of Magnusson and Finlay weakens them at set pieces and in the air. In 9 of Hearts' last 10 away matches, at least three goals were scored. Given the hosts' form and the visitors' defensive problems, a high-scoring game looks likely. We're going with Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 3-1.
