The Süper Lig matchweek concludes with a massive Monday night blockbuster as Beşiktaş travel to Trabzon. The visitors arrive on the heels of a highly commanding European run, looking to cap off the round by solidifying their grip on the upper echelon of the table. Their last league encounter back in May ended in a wild, back-and-forth affair where tactical risks dictated the chaotic pace. Trabzonspor are desperate to build on their home momentum, but conquering an explosive away side to close out the matchweek is a massive ask. The visitors possess the counter-attacking depth to make this a nightmare for the hosts. Let’s look at the best betting angles.

Trabzonspor team overview
Trabzonspor enters this one on the back of a solid 3-0 away domestic triumph against Samsunspor. Şenol Güneş’s men look eager to carry that fluid clean-sheet momentum straight into this weekend's massive derby.
In the Süper Lig this season, the Black Sea Storm have picked up four wins, one draw, and two defeats from their opening seven games. It's their form on their own turf that truly gives them confidence.
The hosts are currently on a tearing three-match winning run at home, outscoring their opponents 11-1 in that spell.
Mohamed Salah has been the absolute main man since arriving, racking up 10 goal contributions in just seven matches.
Boss Günes will have to cope without midfield presence Hakan Kabasakal due to suspension, while Ruslan Malinovskyi and Stefan Savic remain sidelined with lingering injuries.

Besiktas team overview
Beşiktaş prepares for this one on the back of a 3-2 Europa League victory over Hoffenheim last week.
The Black Eagles have now won all two European games this season 7-3 on aggregate. Sergen Yalçın’s men desperately needed those explosive results to build serious momentum across multiple fronts.
Their domestic start has been a bit of a rollercoaster despite sitting second in the table. They have recorded five wins and two defeats from their opening seven league games.
Their primary concern heading into this weekend is an incredibly erratic away form. They have lost three of their last five away games, showing a vulnerable underbelly on their travels.
Dušan Vlahović has been the definitive catalyst with six goals in five league appearances. However, the team will have to sweat on his fitness after he missed the trip to Germany due to illness.

Prediction
This match has absolute shootout potential. Trabzonspor are an absolute wagon at Papara Park right now, scoring goals for fun, and Salah looks completely unstoppable. But Beşiktaş have too much attacking depth to blank here, even if Vlahović ends up missing out. I vividly remember losing a clean-sheet bet on this fixture last season when things went completely off the rails. Don't expect any defensive masterclasses. Lock in a thrilling 2-2 draw.
Three reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game
- Four of the last five meetings between Trabzonspor and Besiktas produced over 2.5 goals.
- Besiktas have scored two or more goals in each of their last seven matches.
- Trabzonspor scored 16 goals in their last five competitive games alone.
