THE PREDICTION

Nine points separates Trabzonspor and Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig after a poor run in the division for the latter but form goes out the window for this Turkish Super Cup Final at the Olympic Stadium in what is essentially an unofficial home game. Trabzonspor are unbeaten in five matches though and will be looking to claim this trophy for the second tie this century on Wednesday night against a side they have struggled to beat in recent years. Trabzonspor have failed to beat Istanbul Basaksehir in 11 meetings, with six wins for Basaksehir and five draws since a 3-2 Trabzonspor league win in 2015. That kind of history, coupled with the location of the final suggests this could be a big day for Istanbul Basaksehir’s season. Trabzonspor are form favourites but the Turkish capital could smile upon its own here to see them lift the trophy by any method, with both teams likely to score in normal time.
