Papara Park plays host to Trabzonspor versus Ankaragücü in Süper Lig (matchday 38). Kick-off: Sunday 26 May 2024 at 18:00 UK time.

Form

Trabzonspor (all games): 6W 0D 4L across their last 10 — 1.80 PPG. Last five: W W L W W. They are averaging 2.20 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.

Trabzonspor at home: 6W 0D 4L from their last 10 home games — 1.80 PPG on home soil. They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Ankaragücü's record over their last 10 games: 2W 5D 3L (1.10 PPG). Last five: L D D L D. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — a high rate that makes Yes a well-evidenced angle from their form.

On the road, Ankaragücü have gone 0W 4D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.40 is notably below their overall 1.10 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

The form ledger tips toward Trabzonspor. A 0.70 PPG lead over Ankaragücü (1.80 vs 1.10) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.

In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Trabzonspor's last 10 home games and Ankaragücü's last 10 away games) — Trabzonspor have seen both teams score in 60% of their games, Ankaragücü in 80%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.

H2H History

Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 2 wins for Trabzonspor, 0 for Ankaragücü and 1 draw — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.

Goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.7 per game across the 3 H2H matches we hold, giving Under 2.5 a clear head-to-head base rate. The most recent of those, on 6 Jan 2024, ended Trabzonspor 1–0 Ankaragücü — a Trabzonspor win.

With a balanced win record and just 1.7 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.

Trading & In-Play

Trabzonspor — key trading statistics (last 72 games, 36 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 76% of the time; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 56% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 42%.

Ankaragücü — key trading statistics (last 72 games, 36 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 66% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 70% of those occasions; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 38%; BTTS occurs in 69% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Trabzonspor 57% and Ankaragücü 64% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Trabzonspor 60% | Ankaragücü 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Trabzonspor 2.08 xG and Ankaragücü 1.17 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Trabzonspor attack 1.223 / defence 1.021 | Ankaragücü attack 0.919 / defence 1.096. League average goals — home 1.550 / away 1.248. Data: built from Trabzonspor's last 72 games and Ankaragücü's last 73.

Result probabilities: Trabzonspor 57% | Draw 24% | Ankaragücü 19%. Fair-value odds: Trabzonspor 1.76 | Draw 4.20 | Ankaragücü 5.15. The model has a clear lean to Trabzonspor (57%) — a 33pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 62% | Total xG 3.25. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.25 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 62% — both xG figures (2.08 / 1.17) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.

Final Verdict

Poisson rates Trabzonspor as the most likely outcome at 57% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 24% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.

The Poisson model projects 3.25 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 63% — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Trabzonspor's last 10 home games and Ankaragücü's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.7 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.

Poisson assigns a 62% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Trabzonspor 60% (last 10 home games) | Ankaragücü 80% (last 10 away games).
