Trabzonspor vs Hatayspor Prediction 12.02.2024

• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: 12th February 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Papara Park

Two seasons ago, Trabzonspor won the title of Turkish champion after almost 40 years, but they have failed to achieve continuity of good results. At the moment, they hold 5th position in the table with 39 points won, even 24 less than the leaders Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. This does not necessarily mean that they are doing a bad job because the famous clubs from Istanbul are often the first favorites to win the title and rarely do other clubs have the opportunity to fight for the title. However, the form in which the team from Trabzon is in is worrying. They were defeated in the last 4 league matches with a desperate goal difference of 3:1. The fire was extinguished a little by the hard-won victory in the Genclerbriliga in the 1/8 finals of the cup, but the club's ambitions are much bigger than that and they need new points in the league as soon as possible in order to stay in the top 4 position.

On the other side, Hatayspor is one of the clubs that many predicted before the start of the championship to fight for survival, and even relegation from the league. They have probably exceeded everyone's expectations so far. With two consecutive victories, they managed to rise in the table and escape from the danger zone. Those victories are much bigger because they came over direct competitors, so on the road against a favored opponent they can play even better.

Trabzonspor vs Hatayspor pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

Regardless of the desperate form, the home team is also the favorite to win this match. But regardless, Hatayspor will look for their chance to get new points. In addition to their good form, they can base their confidence on the first match of the season, in which they won 3:2. It was one of the most exciting matches in the Super League so far, where Hatayspor managed to make up for the big gap of two goals in the second half in 25 minutes. The defense of Trabzonspor in recent weeks is at a devastating level and they are not able to save their net. It seems that this will be a game with plenty of goals, so BTTS is the most logical choice. The odds are more than decent.
