Head-to-head statistics Trabzonspor - Istanbul Basaksehir
Trabzonspor Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Europa League tournament (home team - Trabzonspor, away team - Ferencvarosi). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:1.
Here's the game statistics (Trabzonspor vs Ferencvarosi):
- ball possession: 66% vs 34%;
- corner kicks: 7 vs 5;
- fouls: 3 vs 24;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 5;
- shots on target: 3 vs 4.
Trabzonspor have made a poor start. They drew 1-1 with Kasımpaşa away in the Süper Lig, then lost 0-1 to Ferencváros at home in the Europa League qualifying. New signing Salah has featured in both matches but is yet to contribute a goal or assist. It is not just the results that are concerning - the performances have been underwhelming too. Trabzonspor are dominating possession at 60%+, but that control is not translating into attacking threat. In both the Süper Lig and Europa League, their opponents have been the more dangerous side by xG. The coaching staff still have work to do integrating the new arrivals, and there may be a few more unexpected results early in the season.

İstanbul Başakşehir became the first Turkish club to exit European competition this season, going out to Inter Turku in the Conference League qualifiers. They drew at home and lost away.

Their league campaign started well - they beat Kocaelispor 2-0 at home.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both sides have title ambitions this season. Trabzonspor are closer to making that a reality. There were several high-profile signings in the summer, but the new arrivals have yet to make a significant impact. Trabzonspor will also have the Europa League second leg in mind, as they need to overturn a deficit against Ferencváros. İstanbul Başakşehir are already out of European competition and fully focused on the league. In this match, they will be looking to end a poor run in head-to-head meetings - they have failed to win six of their last seven against Trabzonspor. Getting three points here looks difficult for Başakşehir, but avoiding defeat is within their reach. The main bet for this match is İstanbul Başakşehir not to lose. Predicted score: 1-1.
