DomainJava.com – Trabzonspor vs Antalyaspor prediction in Turkey Super Lig match, Two teams looking to bounce back from disappointing league defeats in their opening matches of 2025 will face each other on Sunday, when Trabzonspor host Antalyaspor in a Turkish Super Lig match.
The hosts suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat to Samsunspor on January 4, while Antalyaspor suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat against Eyupspor on the same day.
Trabzonspor had a mixed start to the new year, following their defeat to Samsunspor with an impressive 3-0 win over Alanyaspor in the Turkish Cup.
Currently 14th in the Super League standings with 19 points, they are just three points clear of the relegation zone, a stark contrast to last season’s third-place finish, which had set expectations much higher.
Head coach Senol Gunes will be relying on Trabzonspor’s solid home form to turn things around, with Black Sea Storm unbeaten in their last four home games in all competitions, and having lost just one of their previous nine games on their home turf.
Adding to their confidence is their strong record in these fixtures, where they have remained unbeaten in their last three meetings, claiming two wins and one draw, while suffering just one defeat in the last five meetings.
Antalyaspor, like their hosts, bounced back from their league defeat with a 3-1 win over Kocaelispor in the Turkish Cup – however, the Scorpions have faltered in recent league games, losing back-to-back games after a four-game unbeaten run.
Now in 12th place in the standings, just two points above Trabzonspor and five points above the relegation zone, they are keen to avoid being dragged down further in the fight for survival.
However, Alex de Souza’s side have struggled on the road, picking up just one win from eight away league games this season, with two draws and five defeats.
Historically, this fixture has been unfavorable to the visitors, with no away wins recorded in the last nine league games, while Antalyaspor’s last win at this venue was back in 2016.
Trabzonspor face a growing injury crisis, with five players absent, including Edin Visca and Denis Dragus, who are both sidelined with muscle problems.
Stefan Savic has a hamstring problem, while Huseyin Turkmen is still unable to play due to an ankle injury, and Okay Yokuslu is still recovering from a knee problem.
Antalyaspor are also short, with Veysel Sari suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Erdogan Yesilyurt and Emre Uzun are out for the entire season due to ligament injuries, while Bahadir Ozturk and Burak Ingenc are still on the injury list.(ed)
