Istanbul Basaksehir vs Trabzonspor prediction 06.06.2023

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: 6th June 2023
• Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
• Venue: Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium

Istanbul Basaksehir would be looking to ensure they finish the season in fifth place when they play host to Trabzonspor on Tuesday evening.

The Owls are currently in fifth position, two points ahead of Trabzonspor who occupy sixth place.

Since winning the Super Lig title in the 2019-20 campaign, Istanbul Basaksehir have been unable to finish even in the top three. The Owls have struggled again this season with the gab to third-placed Besiktas currently eighteen points and Emre Belözoğlu’s men instead find themselves in the battle for fifth place.

Trabzonspor’s Super Lig title and Turkish Super Cup double last year set the standards very high and as a result the 2022-23 campaign would go down as disappointing even if they beat Istanbul or get a draw on Tuesday to finish in fifth place. The visitors’ away form has cost them the chance to defend their title, having suffered ten defeats away from home, which is something that they will need to adjust next season.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs Trabzonspor Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals

Istanbul Basaksehir will enter this game off the back of a 3-2 win over Adana Demirspor last weekend, and they have been strong at home in the league this season, registering 11 wins from 17 games and losing just 2. In their last four home games they only failed to score once and three of those fixtures ended with at least three goals.

Trabzonspor are the team with momentum, having won each of their last three Super Lig games. In each of those games they scored at least four goals, which again points towards a goalrich game on Tuesday.

Meeting between these two sides at the Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadium are often dominated with the goals. Over the course of the last six meetings an average of three goals per game were scored.
