Basaksehir vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
Basaksehir has been involved in the title race in recent years. Three times in a row, the Erdogan club wintered as the leader of the Süper Lig, but was not rewarded at the end of the season with a title win. Last season, Basaksehir even gambled a comfortable lead of eight points.
So it was no wonder that Basaksehir was the “new” fourth big club in Turkey. After success coach Abdullah Avci had left the team, the end of the Basaksehir era had to be expected. The Erdogan kickers have recently proven otherwise and returned with a winning streak.
On Monday evening, the latest success trend should be underpinned by a home win over Trabzonspor. However, the team of Okan Buruk expected in home game against the Black Sea club, a far from simple task. Trabzon fought his way up the Süper Lig table despite injury worries. Due to the ongoing form is likely to be expected in the title race with the Black Sea Club.
Last Thursday, both teams were in the Europa League in action. While Basaksehir still has a chance to reach the round of 32 with a win and a total of four points to his name, Trabzonspor has lost the chance of progressing with their recent defeat by FC Krasnodar.
Basaksehir is slightly favored against Trabzonspor according to bookmaker odds. A prognosis on the home side had come true in the last three duels – is it also this time?
Basaksehir:
Okan Buruk can breathe again. After his catastrophic start to the season as Basaksehir coach, there was the first time a winning streak for last year’s runner-up. Most recently, three competitive games were won in a row, including the recent Europa League match against Wolfsberger AC.
This Basaksehir has in the European Cup continues to have the opportunity to the knockout stage. In Erdoğan-Club-style, of course, after the home win over the Wolfsberg AC there was the notorious military salute of the Turks. There was not much to praise at the home game against the Austrians. It was a contested victory in which the winning goal was achieved only by an individual action by Kahveci.
In the Süper Lig Basaksehir meanwhile has been unbeaten since the defeat against Fenerbahce. With 14 points on the account, the team in the Süper Lig has again fought hard and will probably participate again in the race for the international grid positions.
There is no sign of the former defensive strength at the Erdogan club. In this competitive season Basaksehir has been able to save only two times the white vest. In eleven of the 13 games there was at least one goal for the team of Okan Buruk.
At home, Basaksehir secured a lucky home win over Göztepe last week. With his last-minute goal Martin Skrtel gave the home side three important points. It was the second home win in a row for Basaksehir. Competing over Basaksehir is now unbeaten in five home matches.
The injury list in the team of Okan Buruk is manageable. Only Danijel Aleksic will miss the home game against Trabzonspor. If the Buruk team also wins the fourth competitive game in a row, wins at Basaksehir against Trabzonspor lucrative odds on a home win.
Trabzonspor:
The Europa League can be ticked off. After the home defeat against FC Krasnodar, the Black Sea players have hardly realistic chances to progress in the group. Trabzon would have to win all remaining group matches, two of which take place in a foreign land.
The focus is therefore again on the national competition, where Trabzonspor wants to conquer the championship lead with a victory. With 15 points from the first eight Süper Lig games, the team of head coach Ünal Karaman put on a strong start to the season. The injury misery had surprisingly mastered Karaman well.
With 17 goals, Trabzonspor is the second strongest offensive of the Süper Lig after eight games. If it is considered that Ömür and Ekuban are missing two key players on the offensive, the yield is very strong. But Ünal Karaman can rely on Daniel Sturridge, who has now fully recovered from his injury.
In the last league game Sturridge was the first time in the starting eleven and received much praise from the coach for his performance. With a goal and a goal presentation, the new offensive star of the Black Sea Club knew to convince.
Away, Trabzonspor lost only once in the last eleven Süper Lig games. In this calendar year, the Black Sea kickers are among the strongest teams in the Süper Lig. In the domestic league, three wins in a row have recently been recorded.
Ünal Karaman will only have to give up Abdülkadir Ömür and Caleb Ekuban on Monday night. Further failures are not to be complained at the Black Sea club. The starting eleven is expected to remain unchanged.
