Karagumruk vs Trabzonspor Match Preview

Karagumruk is ranked in 17th place with 13 points and comes in poor form after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. Getting Andrea Pirlo as the new coach really did not have the effect it was supposed to have as they went even deeper into the relegation zone.

They have the worst defensive side in the league with 29 goals conceded so far which means two goals per game on average. In the last five games, they conceded a total of 12 goals averaging even more than two goals per game while failing to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches. It is true their attack has been pretty decent as they scored 25 goals but all three wins they had this season came against teams ranked at the bottom half of the table.

Trabzonspor is ranked in 5th place with 26 points and comes in very good form as they are unbeaten in the last five duels collecting two wins and three draws. It was a slow start to the new season for them but it seems they have found their best shape right now and are slowly climbing in ranks. Currently, they sit only four points behind the Europa League zone and in case of a win could shorten that distance even more.

Their strongest part has been their defense as they conceded only 16 goals having one of the best defenses in the league while also being good in attack with 21 goals scored. Coming after the win against Fenerbahce surely will serve as a morale booster here. Especially for Trezeguet who has already scored 5 goals - 1 assist so far and Bakasetas with 4 goals - 4 assists.

In conclusion, I think Trabzonspor can win this match or get at least a draw out of it. They are a better team than their rivals and their current form is much better. They lost only two out of 14 games in the league this season and I do not see Karagumruk beating them. Trabzonspor managed to beat them in four of the last five h2h games with the other one ending in a draw.
