Trabzonspor
BeşiktaşForm guide
Trabzonspor went into the weekend fifth with 13 points and are in strong form: four wins in five games, including 4-0 against Galatasaray and 3-0 at Samsunspor. At home they have won all three league games, scoring 11 and conceding 1. They also won 4-2 in Finland in the Conference League on Thursday.
Beşiktaş went into the weekend fourth with 15 points. They have won four of their last five, including 3-2 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League. They are much better at home than away: one win and two defeats on the road in the league, scoring 4 and conceding 5.
Head-to-head
This is one of Turkey's big rivalries, and it rarely stays quiet. All of the last five meetings had at least two goals, and both teams scored in every one of them. Results have been split: one Trabzonspor win, two Beşiktaş wins and two draws, including a 3-3.
Team news
Both sides are missing players. Trabzonspor lose Kabasakal to suspension and have four players out. Beşiktaş have Rashica and Černý out and are likely to get Vlahović back.
Our prediction and why
The result is close to a coin toss, so we back goals with over 1.5 goals. Both teams have scored 16 league goals in seven games, six of Trabzonspor's seven games had two or more goals, and every recent meeting cleared this line.
Other bets to consider
Both teams to score has landed in all of the last five meetings and is a reasonable extra at bigger odds. We keep it out of the main tips because Trabzonspor have conceded only once at home.
