Besiktas vs Trabzonspor prediction and betting tips on February 4, 2024
The central clash of the 24th round in the Turkish Süper Lig will take place in Istanbul, where, at the "Vodafone Park," the local Besiktas will host Trabzonspor. Our website experts have prepared a prediction for this match.
Besiktas
The Istanbul club cannot boast of result stability in the current season and is rightfully contending only for the third position, where their main opponent is precisely Trabzonspor. Moreover, in three consecutive league matches, Fernando Santos's team has been unable to secure a victory, suffering two defeats in this stretch. Midweek saw Besiktas play an away match against Süper Lig mid-table side Sivasspor. Conceding a goal into their net as early as the 6th minute, the "black eagles" failed to turn the tide of the encounter and lost with a score of 0-1. With Rizespor and Antalyaspor closely trailing Istanbul's side, neglecting prudence might lead to jeopardizing their place in European competitions.
Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor also fails to impress this season; however, no one expected Abdullah Avci's team to contend for the championship. Yet, the "blue-burgundies" are managing to fulfill their task of securing a place in European competitions, currently outpacing Besiktas in the race for the third spot. Following a significant home defeat against Galatasaray (1-5), the "Black Sea Storm" faced setbacks, losing two more matches. While the minimal away defeat against Rizespor (0-1) is explainable, as it is a direct competitor in the battle for European competitions, the midweek home fiasco against Kasimpasa (2-3) was likely not part of Abdullah Avci's plans.
Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head encounters
- In the first round, Trabzonspor triumphed over Besiktas on their home turf with a score of 3-0.
- Besiktas has been unable to defeat the "blue-burgundies" in six consecutive matches, losing in three instances.

Besiktas vs Trabzonspor prediction
Bookmakers slightly favor the home team, but the match is unlikely to be straightforward for Besiktas. In recent years, Trabzonspor has proven to be a very uncomfortable opponent for the "black eagles," so it is advisable to go for "Both Teams to Score" in this match with odds of 1.71.
