Trabzonspor vs Besiktas Prediction
Besiktas have started the season like a house on fire and are unbeaten in all competitions this season. However, Senoi Gunes' side are playing catch-up in the league and will be aiming to keep pace with an unblemished Fenerbahce at the summit.
Trabzonspor have had a solid if unspectacular start to their campaign. They have won two and lost two of four league games played so far. They also have a good recent record against Besiktas, having not lost to the capital side in over three years.
Games between the two sides tend to be expansive affairs with plenty of goalmouth action. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win in a high-scoring game.
