Struggling İstanbul Başakşehir will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Trabzonspor in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Trabzonspor has the fewest conceded goals (9) away in Super Lig
İstanbul Başakşehir and Trabzonspor should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as Trabzonspor have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats
3 victories, 5 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what İstanbul Başakşehir have to build on here at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu in the Super Lig. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Başakşehir with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Rizespor game, 27 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for İstanbul Başakşehir, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
İstanbul Başakşehir lost their last game at Goztepe (placed 11th) after a 1-2 scoreline. In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Fenerbahce (after extra-time).
The Başakşehir fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 12 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. İstanbul Başakşehir have conceded 19 from these games.

Trabzonspor have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of six victories in a row regardless of arena.
The Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 330 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Trabzonspor won their last game, 1-0 versus Gazisehir Gaziantep played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Yeni Malatyaspor.
