Basaksehir vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
For the first time in the club’s history, Basaksehir won the championship in the Super Lig last season, just one year later the Erdogan club is now facing the worst-case scenario. After a catastrophic start to the season, the crisis at last year’s champions worsened a few match days after the start of the second half of the season, after all Basaksehir is currently on a relegation spot.
Most recently there were four defeats in a row for the retort club from the metropolis, three of which were conceded by the previous year’s champions under the new trainer Aykut Kocaman. If it goes according to the latest form from table 18th, the next setback threatens on Friday evening. Because at the start of the matchday, Trabzonspor, the strongest team in the Süper Lig, will be received.
Basaksehir:
This is not how Basaksehir imagined the weeks after the change of coach. Although the previous year’s champions of the Super Lig moved into the semi-finals of the Turkiye Kupasi, there were three defeats in the league. As the table of the Super Lig shows, the crisis in the problem child from Istanbul has worsened.
For the first time since the fifth matchday, Basaksehir is back on a relegation zone. Judging by the performances in the last week, the table situation is unlikely to change much this week, especially since Trabzonspor Basaksehir will be fourth in the Süper Lig on Friday evening.
Kocaman has also been unsuccessful at Basaksehir, having conceded six goals in three games since his arrival in the Süper Lig. If you consider the personnel worries the Orange-Blue are currently struggling with, a trend reversal is not in sight for the time being.
Trabzon are missing ten players at Basaksehir on Friday evening, including top performers such as Visca, Tekdemir and Aleksic. As with the defeat against Goztepe, Kocaman is therefore only available to a limited extent.
In the home stadium, the orange-blue team had a score of 3-5-4 this season, with the retort club conceding 19 goals. There were five of them at the home debacle against the promoted team from Antakya, where the vulnerable defensive was literally demonstrated by last year’s champions.
After two home bankruptcies in a row and the poor performance last week, Basaksehir against Trabzonspor does not speak much for a prognosis in favor of the home side.
Trabzonspor:
For years, Abdullah Avci was on the sidelines of Basaksehir, and within a short time, the 57-year-old is meeting his ex-team as an opposing coach for the second time. Just under a month ago, Trabzonspor and Basaksehir faced each other in the Turkish Super Cup, with the Bordeaux-Blues from Trabzon winning 2-1 against the Erdogan Club.
Only six points separate the Bordeaux-Blues from the leaders from Istanbul. If the next victory is recorded in the Turkish House of Lords on Friday evening, Trabzonspor can even reduce the gap to three points.
Abdullah Avci is currently the guarantee of success at the Black Sea club. Although there was not much room for newcomers in either the summer or winter transfer window, the 57-year-old was able to convince with his tactical finesse. Especially on the defensive, Trabzonspor has been much more stable since the arrival of Avci than under its predecessor Eddie Newton.
In the offensive, on the other hand, the workload is manageable, after a lead the previous year’s runners-up withdraws and switches to ball possession football. In the 16 games under Avci, Trabzonspor scored only six times more than one goal.
As with the Friday opponent from Istanbul, Trabzonspor also has a tense personnel situation. Therefore, Abdullah Avci was forced to call up youth players to the professional team, including Hakan Aydin. The 18-year-old youngster will be part of the professional team for the first time on Friday evening and should even make his debut in the starting line-up.
None of the three keepers at Trabzonspor is operational due to the quarantine regulations. In addition, Avci will have to do without eight other players on Friday night, including Anthony Nwakaeme, the best goalscorer in the ranks of the Bordeaux-Blues.
