Trabzonspor sit third in the Süper Lig table and arrive on the back of five straight league wins. Gaziantep, by contrast, occupy 14th place and have won just once in their last five outings. The gap on paper is wide, and the recent head-to-head record actually favors the hosts too, with Trabzonspor outscoring Gaziantep 6-4 across the last four meetings. One quirky detail worth flagging: Gaziantep’s most recent match wasn’t even a league fixture, a 4-0 romp against a weaker side that briefly papered over a genuinely rough patch domestically. That win won’t tell us much about what to expect at Papara Park.
Franculino Gluda Dju has been the standout name in Trabzonspor’s recent run, scoring six goals across his last five appearances, a figure that accounts for nearly half the team’s total output in that span. Mohamed Salah has chipped in with three goals and three assists from the same stretch, giving the home attack two players in red-hot form heading into this one. For Gaziantep, Halil Dervisoglu remains their most reliable outlet going forward, with a goal and an assist in his last four games, though he’s had precious little support around him.
Hot stat: Franculino Gluda Dju’s six goals in five matches is the number that jumps off the page here, more than Gaziantep’s entire squad has managed combined (six goals) over the same number of outings.

Trabzonspor vs Gaziantep prediction
We predict a comfortable Trabzonspor win here, and the numbers back it up rather strongly. Trabzonspor have won 25 of their 42 matches this season and sit just six points off top spot, while Gaziantep have won only 11 of 35 and have struggled for both goals and results away from home. Backing Trabzonspor on the moneyline feels like the safe route, but given the short odds, we lean toward a Trabzonspor win combined with over 2.5 goals as the better value play. Perhaps the smartest single angle on the board, to be hones, is backing Franculino Gluda Dju to find the net again given his current scoring pace.
Stylistically these two sides differ quite a bit. Trabzonspor have racked up 73 shots across their last five games compared to Gaziantep’s 66, and their pass accuracy sits noticeably higher too, a sign of a team controlling matches rather than chasing them. Gaziantep have actually picked up more yellow cards (9 to Trabzonspor’s 7) in that stretch despite committing fewer fouls, which hints at a side that’s been stretched and forced into rash challenges when outmatched. That discipline gap could easily produce a card or two for Gaziantep defenders trying to contain Trabzonspor’s front line.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Franculino Gluda Dju to score anytime |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Over 2.5 |

Team Analysis
Trabzonspor’s last match was a wild 4-3 win over Rizespor, a game that showed both the quality of their attack and a few defensive cracks. Before that they beat Hearts 2-0, Besiktas 2-0 and KuPs 4-2, results that paint a picture of a team scoring freely but occasionally leaking goals too. In our preview of Rizespor vs Trabzonspor we backed a comfortable home win paired with BTTS No as the sharper angle, and the eventual 4-3 scoreline delivered the victory part while the BTTS call went against us, both sides found the net in a fairly open contest. Five wins from their last six matches, though, confirms the underlying form is genuinely strong right now.
Gaziantep’s last four competitive league results read loss, loss, loss, loss before that 4-0 cup-style win against weaker opposition broke the run. They fell 1-3 to Erzurumspor, 1-2 to Basaksehir, 0-3 to Corum and 0-2 to Kocaelispor in their previous four Süper Lig matches, a stretch that explains why they sit just two points above the relegation zone. Their attack has gone cold at the worst possible time, and facing a Trabzonspor side full of confidence on home turf is a tough ask for a team short on answers.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Trabzonspor the favourite
- Moneyline Trabzonspor 1.30 | Gaziantep 6.50
- Draw 5.50
The market has this almost exactly where the stats suggest it should be. A Trabzonspor price around 1.30 implies roughly 75% to 78% probability, which lines up neatly with their third-place standing and current winning streak. Gaziantep’s odds near 6.50 to 8.00 reflect a side that’s simply not finding goals or results away from home. The draw price, hovering around 5.50, feels generous given how one-sided recent form has been, though Trabzonspor’s occasional defensive slips mean it isn’t completely dismissible.
Possible Starting Lineups
Trabzonspor possible starting eleven
- GK: André Onana
- DF: Wagner Pina, Samet Akaydin, Cenk Ozkacar, Chibuike Nwaiwu
- MF: Ozan Tufan, Tim Jabol-Folcarelli, Ernest Muci, Mohamed Salah, Fabio Henrique Tavares
- FW: Franculino Gluda Dju
Thomas Reis has stuck with a 4-2-3-1 across the last five matches, and there’s little reason to change a winning formula. Ozan Tufan and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli shield the back four, while Muci and Salah supply the creative spark behind Franculino Gluda Dju, who leads the line as the clear focal point. Watch Salah closely, three goals and three assists in five games is a return few Süper Lig attackers can match right now.
Gaziantep possible starting eleven
- GK: Ataberk Dadakdeniz
- DF: Myenty Abena, Luis Pérez, Kerim Calhanoglu, Abakar Sylla
- MF: Kacper Kozłowski, Drissa Camara, Alexandru Maxim, Karamba Gassama, Victor Gidado
- FW: Halil Dervisoglu
Orhan Ak also favors a 4-2-3-1 setup, with Kozłowski and Camara sitting deeper to protect a defense that’s conceded regularly on the road. Dervisoglu is the player to watch up front, he’s the only attacker in this squad with consistent goal involvement over the last month, and Gaziantep will need him firing to have any realistic shot here.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Trabzonspor to win this one comfortably, likely by a two-goal margin or more, with Franculino Gluda Dju continuing his hot streak in front of goal. Gaziantep’s away form simply doesn’t hold up against a Trabzonspor side that’s scored freely and controlled matches through its midfield in recent weeks. Our pick leans toward Trabzonspor win and over 2.5 goals, with BTTS No as the value add given how dry Gaziantep’s attack has looked on the road lately.
