Adana Demirspor vs Trabzonspor Match Analysis and Prediction

5 years ago 784

A first Super Lig title since 1984 awaits for Trabzonspor, as they aim to stretch their advantage at the summit of the table ahead of the final stretch of the campaign.

The visitors will not secure the league title when they face Adana Demirspor on Saturday, but a win will leave them within touching distance of the championship.

While the big three have certainly not performed well in Turkey this season, the performances from Trabzonspor should not go unnoticed as history awaits the Black Sea Storm.

Trabzonspor have been impressive for much of the campaign, and have lost just twice all season long, five games less than second-placed Fenerbahce.

They have managed to pick up 21 victories from their 33 Super Lig matches, and they may have had the league wrapped up by now if they had managed to convert some of their 10 draws into victories.

Only one team in the Turkish top flight have drawn more games than Trabzonspor this season, with the failure to turn one point to three perhaps the biggest flaw in their otherwise impressive campaign.

Black Sea Storm are now set to face a tough task, as they face an Adana Demirspor side who are still hopeful of qualifying for Europe.

Now sitting only two points behind fourth-placed Istanbul Basaksehir, Saturday’s hosts have left themselves with a great opportunity to finish inside a continental spot.

A patchy run of form has plagued Adana Demirspor in recent weeks, with the Blue Lightnings having managed just two victories in their previous seven league matches.

Adana Demirspor suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Trabzonspor back in December, and will be hoping to avoid the result .

Another victory for Trabzonspor will essentially wrap up the league title for the leaders, as they begin to dream of a famous Super Lig crown.

Adana Demirspor news

Mario Balotelli is set to miss the weekend fixture due to a red card suspension. Part of Demirspor’s strong league form this season has been down to him, having scored 12 goals and registered four assits so far.

Britt Assombalonga is expected to lead the line on Saturday in Balotelli’s place.

Trabzonspor news

Trabzonspor’s Huseyin Turkmen is currently nursing a muscle problem and will miss the rest of the month, alongside Anthony Nwakaeme who continues his recovery from a hamstring problem.

Anders Trondsen is likely to make a return, and could come as a substitute off the bench if he is to be involved this weekend.

Prediction and Odds

Trabzonspor are nearing to book a place in the history books, with the squad becoming the first set of players to deliver a league title for the club in close to three decades.

Adana Demirspor would pose as tough opponents, but we believe the visitors have enough quality to win the game.
