Trabzonspor will play away against Istanbul Başakşehir

The match between Trabzonspor and Istanbul Başakşehir in the Süper Lig is one of the most intriguing and closely watched fixtures in Turkish football, reported by One.uz.

This encounter gains added significance due to the historical, tactical, and statistical aspects of both teams, with the participation of Eldor Shomurodov and Abbosbek Fayzullaev also holding importance for Uzbek football.

The Sporx.com website has highlighted 10 key statistical facts ahead of the match, which could assist in predicting the outcome. Eldor Shomurodov has shown low efficiency in away matches.

In his last seven appearances, he has scored only once, which may hinder his ability to contribute to away victories. Onuachu, on the other hand, poses a threat for Başakşehir, having been involved in three goal-scoring actions in four away matches against Trabzonspor—scoring two goals and providing one assist.

Saviolo has the opportunity to make club history; if he scores in his first two Süper Lig appearances, he will become the second foreign player in Trabzonspor’s history to achieve this since the 2000/01 season. Başakşehir have struggled to start seasons strongly away from home: since 2016/17, they have failed to win their opening away match on nine occasions (two draws, seven losses).

Trabzonspor, however, are strong at home: in 11 of their last 14 seasons, they have won their first home game, with their only loss coming in September 2020 against Beşiktaş. Başakşehir aim to begin the current season with two wins; the last time they achieved this was in the 2016/17 season.

Trabzonspor also possess a strong record against Istanbul-based teams at home, exhibiting a tendency often referred to as “no bread” — meaning Istanbul sides struggle to achieve significant success in Trabzon. These facts help explain the likely outcome of the match and provide essential insights for football analysts.
