Two points and a table to chase
With just two points separating Beşiktaş in fourth from Trabzonspor in fifth, this Monday meeting at Papara Park matters more than its early-season slot suggests. Both sides have played seven league games, and the history between them points to a match that rarely stays calm.
Five meetings, nineteen goals
Their last five meetings have produced 19 goals, close to four per game. Neither side has dominated. Trabzonspor have won once, drawn twice and lost twice, while Beşiktaş have won twice, drawn twice and lost once. The most recent meeting, in May, ended 2-1 to Trabzonspor away from home, and the previous league game in December finished 3-3 in Trabzon. Those results suggest a fixture where chances come freely and margins are thin.
Trabzon’s solid home base, Beşiktaş’s leaky defence
Trabzonspor arrive with a strong home record this season, winning all three of their home games, and they have scored 13 goals in their last five while conceding only three. Beşiktaş have also been firing, with 15 goals in their last five, but they have conceded seven in the same period. Beşiktaş’s league form reads WLWWW, while Trabzonspor’s reads WWLWL, showing both sides can be unpredictable.
Trabzonspor’s injury list
Trabzonspor will be without A. Batagov and O. Yokuslu, both sidelined by knee injuries, and M. Kabasakal, who misses the game after a red card. O. Cevikkan (tendon) and P. Onuachu (injury) are doubtful. Beşiktaş are missing V. Cerny (muscle) and M. Rashica (injury).
Our prediction
Trabzonspor 2-1 Beşiktaş. Trabzonspor’s home form and tighter defence give them the edge, but the recent meetings suggest Beşiktaş will create chances and keep this from becoming comfortable. Expect goals, with Trabzonspor’s control at home proving decisive.
