Trabzonspor are undefeated in their last 19 away matches (Super Lig). Kasimpasa have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches against Trabzonspor in all competitions. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Trabzonspor's last 8 away games (Super Lig). Trabzonspor have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches against Kasimpasa in all competitions. Kasimpasa have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 home matches (Super Lig). Trabzonspor are undefeated in their last 7 away matches against Kasimpasa in all competitions.
Kasimpasa were beaten 2-0 by Kayserispor last time out. It was a drab affair and Kasimpasa offered nothing going forward and were undone by a couple of moments of individual brilliance by their opponents. Against Trabzonspor, Arslan will park the bus and use long balls especially to Erdogan as Trabzonspor's left-back has endured a horrible start to the season. Trabzonspor were held to a draw by Galatasaray last time out. They managed to come back from being 2-0 down, which is a formidable achievement. The game, however, showed why Trabzonspor are once again unlikely to win the title. At home, fans apply too much pressure on the team and quite a few players, especially younger, local ones like Omur or Parmak, who cannot perform like their usual selves. Last time out, Omur, one of the most promising products of the Trabzon academy, was booed as he was substituted at the half hour mark. This toxic environment, which will cost them the title, is the reason why they perform better away from home. Expect a dominant performance by the visitors who are likely to get all three points here. 1:2
