Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray: Turkish Super Lig Prediction (10.05.2025)

On Saturday, May 10 at 23:00 WIB, Trabzonspor will host Istanbul giants Galatasaray at Papara Park in the 35th round of the 2024–2025 Turkish Super Lig. With four games left in the season, the hosts sit in 8th place with only a theoretical chance of breaking into the top four for European qualification. The visitors lead the league, already eight points clear of Fenerbahçe.

Here’s our Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray prediction, considering both teams’ league motivations and current form. Bookmakers favor the visitors. A bet on a Trabzonspor win comes with odds of 4.05, a draw 4.15, and a Galatasaray win 1.76. The over 2.5 goals market is priced at 1.50, indicating expectations for a high-scoring match. The “both teams to score” bet is also rated low at 1.50.

Trabzonspor

In seven Super Lig matches under Fatih Tekke—appointed head coach in mid-March—Trabzonspor have lost only once, a 1–4 defeat away to Fenerbahçe. However, it’s clear that the remaining league fixtures are not the club’s top priority. Fans are far more focused on the upcoming Turkish Cup final against Galatasaray, set to be played in a few days. Therefore, even a heavy loss on Saturday won’t be a major concern. The key is to preserve energy and prepare to challenge the favorites in the cup final.

Galatasaray

For Okan Buruk and his star-studded squad, Saturday’s game is no longer a must-win following Fenerbahçe’s 0–1 loss to Beşiktaş in the previous round. With an eight-point lead and only four games remaining, Galatasaray can afford to rotate and conserve energy in their pursuit of a domestic double. Currently, Osimhen and company are in outstanding form, riding a six-game winning streak. They’ve scored an astonishing 14 (!) goals in their last three matches and look unstoppable in Turkish football.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Since 2022, the teams have met six times in the Super Lig. Trabzonspor have won once, while Galatasaray claimed victory in the last four encounters. In the first-round clash of the current season, Galatasaray snatched a late 4–3 win at home.

Prediction

Following the goal-fest in their previous encounter, bookmakers naturally expect another high-scoring match. Galatasaray’s recent results also support that outlook. However, both coaches are likely to be cautious and rest players ahead of the cup final. As such, we recommend betting on under 3.5 total goals at odds of 1.65.
