There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Super Cup game only four days ago. That game, against Istanbul Basaksehir, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Trabzonspor.

Trabzonspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Ever since the Genclerbirligi game Beşiktaş has been unbeatable here at Vodafone Arena producing eight straight wins.

A nice win for Beşiktaş last time playing, versus Goztepe. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Adem Ljajić and Vincent Aboubakar scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 4-1 victory visiting Fatih Karagumruk.

Trabzonspor form and stats

4-5-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Trabzonspor, who have the fewest conceded goals (8) away in Super Lig, in their Super Lig matches away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Fenerbahce game have they lost an away game, meaning Trabzonspor has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

Trabzonspor play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Istanbul Basaksehir (placed 15th). Preceding that game was the away Super Lig victory against Genclerbirligi with the score of 2-1.

Trabzonspor are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and zero defeats. From a total of three matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Trabzonspor are hosting Denizlispor in the Super Lig only four days away.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Trabzonspor have scored 10 goals in 10 league games away. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Trabzonspor as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
