Hatayspor vs Trabzonspor
Turkish Super Lig
Date: 6 May 2022, Friday
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: Yeni Hatay Stadyumu (Hatay).
Trabzonspor secured their inaugural Super Lig title since the 1983/84 campaign as a single point from the home clash against Antalyaspor was enough to grant them the nine-point lead over second-placed Fenerbahce (on whom they have a better head to head record) with three matches left to spare.
Abdullah Avci’s troops enjoyed a spectacular atmosphere at the end of a 2-2 draw to Antalyaspor six days ago.
They can now play the final three games of the season without any kind of pressure whatsoever. It will thus be very interesting to see the lineup Avci is about to send on the pitch in these three remaining fixtures.
The first one comes on Friday afternoon when Trabzonspor travel to Yeni Hatay Stadyumu to take on the out-of-form Hatayspor side in Matchday No 36.
Hatayspor have generally enjoyed a fantastic campaign in this term of Super Lig but their form has seen a significant slide in the last several weeks.
The team led by Omer Erdogan are now winless in six straight league outings. They took just one point in the previous four matches.
Hatayspor have been particularly struggling with the lack of attacking creativity in the last several outings. They thus scored only two goals in the previous five Super Lig affairs, failing to find the back of the net in the previous two defeats to Istanbul Basaksehir and Altay.
The fact that Hatayspor failed to register more than a single shot on target in the 0-1 home loss to the already-relegated Altay side last Saturday says enough about their current form.
Hatayspor vs Trabzonspor Head-to-head
- Hatayspor have never managed to beat Trabzonspor and this is going to be their 12th head to head meeting.
- Trabzonspor will come into this on the back of three wins and a draw in the previous four encounters with Hatayspor.
- Interestingly, only one of the previous eleven head to head clashes between the two rivals produced three or more goals.
Hatayspor vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Trabzonspor may have secured the title but it does not mean they will now lose all three remaining games. We see them as massive favorites here against the struggling Hatayspor side and we can easily recognize the value in backing the away win pick at the odds of 2.25
Since ten of the last eleven head to head meetings between these two outfits finished with fewer than three goals scored, we like the 2.10 odds offered for the Under 2.5 goals FT bet here.
