A chance to strengthen their position

Third-placed Trabzonspor can build on their strong start to the Süper Lig season when they meet 14th-placed Gaziantep FK on Sunday. The sides are separated by 11 points after nine matches, and the visitors arrive looking to halt a poor run as well as end Trabzonspor’s recent hold over this fixture.

Contrasting momentum

Trabzonspor have won six of nine league games, including all four at home. Their last five matches have brought 13 goals and only four conceded, while their current league form includes four wins in a row before a defeat.

Gaziantep’s recent picture is far less encouraging: they have scored twice and conceded 10 across their last five games. They have lost four of their last five league matches and sit 14th with eight points, while Trabzonspor have 19.

The unbeaten head-to-head run

Trabzonspor have not lost any of the last five meetings, winning three and drawing two. The most recent encounter, in February, ended in a 2-1 away win for Trabzonspor. The previous meeting in Trabzon finished 1-1, but the hosts also claimed a 3-2 victory there in February 2025.

That record gives the home side a useful platform, though the narrow scorelines in the last two meetings suggest Gaziantep have not been easy to put away.

Several fitness questions

Trabzonspor will be without A. Batagov, O. Cevikkan, R. Malinovskyi and O. Yokuslu. P. Onuachu is questionable with a muscle injury.

Gaziantep are without M. Abena through suspension, as well as F. Bavuk and N. Sangare through injury. U. Meleke is also questionable.

Home firepower in focus

Trabzonspor have scored 13 goals in four home league games and conceded only once in those matches. Their overall return of 22 goals in nine games is another measure of the attacking threat Gaziantep must contain. The visitors, by contrast, have managed only nine goals in the league this season.

Our prediction

Trabzonspor’s home scoring and recent form point to them creating the clearer chances, while their unbeaten run against Gaziantep adds to the case for a home win. The visitors’ recent struggles still leave room for them to score, but the hosts look better placed to take all three points.
