Besiktas with handicap (0)
Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor prefer combination play where the ball gradually moves towards the opponent’s goal. In terms of time per possession (9.81 seconds), the Burgundians are second only to Alanyaspor and Basaksehir. On average per match, this allows you to create 1.27 xg with 1.06 xg allowed.
The team has been showing unstable results recently due to the departure of head coach Avci after losing to outsider “Umraniyespor” (1:2). The team played the next three games without a permanent coach, and only in the final match against Kasimpasa (0:2) did the board find a replacement in the person of Ihsan Derelioglu.
Besiktas
Besiktas prefers a solid defensive game. In terms of the expected number of goals conceded (xga = 0.93), only Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are behind. It is worth noting that the emphasis on defense does not affect the offensive potential of the “black eagles” (xg = 1.52), which indicates a perfect balance.
Unlike his opponent, Besiktas is clearly in great shape. He had 5 wins in a row with a total score of 14:5, including against Fenerbahce (4:2). And in the final friendly match he defeated Atlético Madrid (2:0).
Forecast
Trabzonspor currently has too many organizational problems. I think Besiktas, who is in form, will easily get 3 points.
