Kocaelispor
- Kocaelispor have been the better home team in the Super Lig this season, winning five, drawing three and losing only one of their nine home matches.
- Selcuk Inan has done a fantastic job at Kocaelispor since he took over in July 2025, bringing a pragmatic and well-organised approach to the club that has seen his side compete for top flight status, currently sitting 8th after 17 games and with 23 points.
- Inan has his side averaging just 1.00 goals per Super Lig home match, instead opting to keep things tight at the back and hit his opponents on the counter.
- Bruno Petkovic has been the targetman in his 11 Super Lig appearances, scoring five goals in the process, while Darko Churlinov has chipped in with two goals in the last five games to give a little extra spark to their offensive options.
Trabzonspor
- Trabzonspor have been the best away team in the Super Lig so far this campaign, winning five of eight and only losing twice, averaging 2.00 goals per match away from home.
- Tekke’s side have struggled a little recently, winning two, drawing one and losing two in their last five, but they remain a dangerous team to face, sitting 3rd in the table with 35 points from their 17 matches.
- Ernest Muci has been in blistering form for Trabzonspor recently, scoring four goals in their last five matches, while Paul Onuachu has once again been the talisman, netting 11 times in 15 Super Lig matches.

Betting Insights
