Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Both clubs arrive with contrasting recent runs – Trabzonspor have stumbled to a loss and a draw in their last four, while Başakşehir ride a three‑match winning streak. The fixture pits a side that has struggled to convert home advantage against an away outfit in fine form, making the outcome anything but predictable.

Lars's Verdict

Strong

Trabzonspor Draw No Bet Won Strong · Expected‑goals parity

The model’s win probability for Trabzonspor (37.1 %) combined with the draw chance (25.8 %) yields a 59 % chance of a positive outcome after removing the draw, making the DNB a statistically sound choice.

Show the maths

Both teams share an expected‑goals figure of 1.35, which translates into equal win probabilities of 37.1 % each. The draw sits at 25.8 %, so removing the draw from the equation leaves 37.1 % ÷ (37.1 % + 25.8 %) ≈ 59 % for a Trabzonspor win. This 59 % DNB probability is the highest single‑outcome likelihood the model provides, justifying the pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Trabzonspor averaging 1.35 expected goals and Başakşehir averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Trabzonspor 1.35, Başakşehir 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Trabzonspor 1.35 + Başakşehir 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Trabzonspor 1.35 + Başakşehir 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Trabzonspor at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Başakşehir at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Trabzonspor

DWLD

Trabzonspor’s recent form of D‑W‑L‑D includes a 2‑1 away win over Beşiktaş, showing they can breach quality defenses, and a 0‑3 home loss to Gençlerbirliği, highlighting defensive frailties. The mix of a win and a heavy defeat underscores volatility, which supports a DNB that cushions the risk of another draw.

Başakşehir

WWW

Başakşehir arrive on the back of three straight wins – a 3‑0 home victory over Samsunspor, a 2‑1 away success versus Gaziantep FK, and a 2‑0 home win against Kocaelispor. The consistency of scoring two or more goals per game indicates strong attacking form, reinforcing the notion that they are unlikely to settle for a draw here.

Head-to-Head

Head‑to‑head meetings favour Trabzonspor, who have won four of the last five encounters, including a 4‑2 triumph in March 2026 and a 3‑0 win in March 2025, while only one recent draw (1‑1 in April 2026) has occurred. This dominance aligns with the DNB pick on Trabzonspor.
