Bodrum and Trabzonspor will battle for three points in the penultimate matchday of the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday (May 18th). The game will be played at Bodrum Ilce Stadi.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Sivasspor last weekend.
Trabzonspor, meanwhile, fell to a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray in the Turkish Cup final in midweek. Baris Alper Yilmaz broke the deadlock in the fifth minute while Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen continued his fine spell in Turkey by scoring a second-half brace. The goals took the 26-year-old's tally for the season to 35 across competitions and he entered the record books in the process, becoming the highest-scoring foreigner in a single Turkish football season.

Bodrum vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Bodrumspor competed in the Turkish top flight for the first time in their history this season following their promotion last term. However, their spell in the Super Lig could end after just one year as they currently find themselves three points away from safety with two games to go.
Trabzonspor, for their part, missed their most realistic shot at continental football by losing the cup final. They still have an outside shot at securing a top-five finish, although their five-point deficit to Basaksehir might be too much to overcome.
The hosts are more in need of the points, but we are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win and clean sheet.
