Trabzonspor hosts Istanbul Basaksehir in round 19 of the Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Saturday, December 25th at Medical Park Stadium (Trabzon)
Trabzonspor is considered the best team of all those who play outside of Istanbul. And this is not just a historical status, although the Black Sea Storms were champions of Turkey six times. Now the club is also in great shape. The year before last, it took 2nd place but was banned by UEFA for two years and did not play in European competitions. Perhaps this had an effect because Trabzonspor managed to take only fourth place in the last Super League. But now Abdullah Avci's charges are ranked first in the standings. Moreover, they are very confident in the lead. In 18 rounds, Trabzonspor suffered only one defeat and tied three times. Ten of the last 11 games were won. Having earned 45 points, the Black Sea Storms created a very good reserve for themselves before the New Year holidays. But it is obvious that the team will not slow down. Moreover, all the usual giants are in crisis, and there is a chance to win the championship. The previous title was back in 1984.

For a long time, Istanbul Basaksehir was the middle peasant of the Super League, and it was not surprising because its neighbors were much stronger. But after returning from the First League, the Orange-Navy Blues significantly stepped up and put up a real fight for the title. In 2019, the gold medals were missed due to the horrible ending. But in the next draw, Basaksehir still achieved its goal and became the champion for the first time in history. However, then there was a noticeable decline: in the last Super League draw, the Gray Owls even muddled along in the relegation zone for a long time. As a result, they managed to rise to the 12th place, but it can hardly be considered a success after the champion’s title. But Basaksehir managed not to get stuck at that level. Now the club is going much higher than Fenerbahce, not to mention Besiktas and Galatasaray, which are failing the season. The Orange-Navy Blues are unlikely to catch up with Trabzonspor, but 32 points after 18 rounds give them real chances to fight for silver medals.
An away side didn’t lose in nine of the last ten head-to-head matches, including the previous six consecutive games. Moreover, the three last games ended with victories for visitors. Trabzonspor players won twice away, and Istanbul Basaksehir gained victory before that. Now bookmakers give good coefficients on the hosts’ victory. It is necessary to use this without reinventing the wheel. We recommend betting on Trabzonspor to win.
