Full Analysis

Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium plays host to Başakşehir versus Trabzonspor in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 19. Kick-off: Sunday 31 January 2027 at 12:00 UTC.

Form

Başakşehir (all games): 5W 2D 3L across 10 Süper Lig fixtures this term — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W W L D L. They are averaging 2.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets. Başakşehir have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Başakşehir's form when playing at home: 6W 2D 2L across 10 games at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium this term (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.

Trabzonspor have collected 1.30 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 3W 4D 3L. Last five: W L D W L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Both teams have scored in 90% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play. Trabzonspor have played only a handful of Süper Lig games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Trabzonspor's form when playing away from home: 5W 3D 2L across 10 road games this term (1.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.00 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 1.80 exceeds their overall 1.30 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.70 PPG for Başakşehir against 1.30 for Trabzonspor. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.

H2H Analysis

Across the last 10 meetings, Trabzonspor have the stronger historical record — 6 wins to Başakşehir's 2, with 2 draws in the mix.

Attacking output has been a hallmark of this fixture. At 2.8 goals per game across 10 meetings, the Over 2.5 has a statistically grounded case from the head-to-head record alone. The most recent clash, on 23 Aug 2026, ended 1–2 with Trabzonspor winning.

The H2H provides genuine backing for the away side. Trabzonspor have won 6 of 10 previous encounters, and at 2.8 goals per game, the goals market also points upward. The away win and Over 2.5 combination has a historical case worth noting.

Trading & In-Play

Başakşehir — key trading statistics (37 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 72% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 58% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (home games).

Trabzonspor — key trading statistics (37 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 74% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 89% of the time; BTTS occurs in 74% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games).

From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Başakşehir 57% and Trabzonspor 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Başakşehir 62% | Trabzonspor 57%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Başakşehir 1.61 xG and Trabzonspor 1.02 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: Başakşehir attack 1.139 / defence 0.801 | Trabzonspor attack 1.050 / defence 0.969. League average goals — home 1.461 / away 1.218. Data: 37 Başakşehir games / 37 Trabzonspor games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.

Result probabilities: Başakşehir 51% | Draw 25% | Trabzonspor 24%. Fair-value odds: Başakşehir 1.96 | Draw 4.00 | Trabzonspor 4.17. Başakşehir hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.64. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.64 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Picks & Verdict

On the Poisson output, Başakşehir are the pick at 51% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Başakşehir if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.64 combined xG gives a 49% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration — though H2H averaging only 2.8 goals per meeting points in the other direction.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 51%. Form rates corroborate: Başakşehir 40% | Trabzonspor 80% BTTS from recent games.

The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (37 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.
