The visiting Trabzonspor side should be favourites in this visit to Antalyaspor, as the away team holds a 11 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

It's quite the trip for Trabzonspor when visiting Antalyaspor as the cities are 1100 kilometers apart.

Antalyaspor form and stats

Antalyaspor's struggle is real here at Antalya Stadium with only 5 points collected from 6 Super Lig games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.

A good away victory last time out for Antalyaspor, who won 3-0 against Eyupspor. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting İstanbul Başakşehir (0-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Antalyaspor have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 6 Drawn 3 Lost 4.

Antalyaspor are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. Antalyaspor are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (13 from 6 played).

Trabzonspor form and stats

The visitors are W2-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super Lig.

It's the second away game in a row for Trabzonspor, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Altay in the Turkish Cup last time out. A draw for Trabzonspor before that, at their own venue hosting Galatasaray (1-1).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Trabzonspor playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were 4 Trabzonspor wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Trabzonspor manager Ü. Karaman as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Basel.

Trabzonspor has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. Trabzonspor have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
