Bursaspor vs Trabzonspor Prediction & Betting tips
Since the 2009/10 championship, Bursaspor is no longer running smoothly. The “crocodiles” are struggling year after year to achieve consistent performance and are always concerned with the relegation battle. Also in this season there will be a beating and a jump-off for the league. After a mixed season and an interim form low Bursa has only one point ahead of a relegation zone. Reason enough for the board to get a new coach on board. Mesut Bakkal is to turn things around and lead Bursaspor to relegation in the Süper Lig. Bakkal and his team meet Trabzonspor right at the start.
Bakkal wants to take advantage of the new coaching effect and book three important points right after the debut. Black Sea Club Trabzonspor is on the fourth place in the table, but the starting right for the European competition is not really at risk. However, that does not mean that Trabzonspor will lose points in the duel against Bursa. Two seasons before Bursa was able to secure the league in a match against Trabzonspor, but then on the final day. Good omen for the “crocodiles”? Whether or not Bursaspor vs. Trabzonspor will predict a home advantage will be on Friday evening at 18:30 in Bursa!
Bursaspor:
It was foreseeable that the upheaval of Bursaspor will have a significant impact this season. With numerous entrances and exits had first once again created a stable team structure. Samet Aybaba mastered the task partly well, but in the end were missing simply the success experiences, in order to gain a foothold. No other Süper Lig team played a draw more often in the first round than Bursaspor. After the steady slip in the table Bursaspor is currently on the 15th place in the table and must now fear for the league. With the support of the twelfth man in the back Bursaspor under Bakkal wants to book the fifth home win of the current season. Recently there was a bitter 2: 3 defeat for Galatasaray for the “crocodiles” from Bursa – even though Bursaspor had led 2-0 in the meantime!
Currently Bursaspor has a home record of 4-6-4. In the last two home games, a total of ten goals. The team of Bakkal are in urgent need of a win, especially as they have won only once in the last 13 Süper Lig games. With the Black Sea club from Trabzon comes a team that always looks defensively vulnerable on foreign terrain. If Bursaspor can take advantage of it against Trabzonspor, a prognosis in favor of the home side would be quite realistic.
As Mesut Bakkal his team will run, remains to be seen for now. In his recent engagements with Alanyaspor and Genclerbirligi, Bakkal preferred a rather offensive game. With his preferred 4-2-3-1 system, more than one hit was scored on average. Even with his involvement with Bursaspor that offensive orientation can be expected, especially as under the old coach Aybaba rather the focus was on the defensive. Against the dynamic attack of the Black Sea Club to risk an open exchange of blows, the Bakkal-Eleven could be expensive.
Trabzonspor:
Trabzonspor will no longer be able to take the start right for the Europa League. The Black Sea club is with nine points ahead of the fourth place in the table. After years of mixed performances were shown, which ultimately resulted in the fact that the Black Sea Club repeatedly missed a starting right for the European competition, it should finally be ready this season. Coach Ünal Karaman will be happy despite some setbacks over the course of the season. Also in the coming year, the goals of the traditional club are set high. With a strong youth work already players like Parmak, Ömür or Yazici could be pulled up. Those midfield players are currently among the top performers in the Karaman squad. To what extent Trabzonspor can hold the promising talents in summer remains to be seen. In the season so far, the Black Sea club was able to build up a score of 13-7-7 and counts with 49 goals scored the third-strongest offensive team of the Süper Lig. Especially recently, the Karaman-Eleven presented very offensive and was able to four successes from the last five games to score a total of twelve goals. On foreign territory Trabzonspor showed last time solid performances, over the season, the Black Sea club in the away games but was very vulnerable in their own defensive. Trabzon conceded 21 goals in 13 away games and thus even more than bottom-finishing BB Erzurumspor.
In the game against Bursaspor Karaman will try to put further pressure on Besiktas. The traditional club from Istanbul currently has a four-point advantage over Trabzonspor. Although Trabzonspor still has a starting right for the Europa League with the third place in the table, this saves the qualifying rounds against the big European underdogs. The last three Süper Lig games won Trabzonspor in series. Failures were well compensated despite the poor cadre width. Against Bursaspor Karaman will largely be able to fall back on his achievers.
