In their home matches for this competition, there is a trend for few goals, as there were less than 3 goals in 8 of the last 9 matches they played.

In the Super League, they had a good run, winning last match against Antalyaspor (2-1), with goals from Hrvoje Smolcic and Tayfur Bingöl. The team typically sets up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Bruno Petković as a central reference, facilitating the final third build-up. From here, Tayfur Bingöl and Daniel Agyei do not stay confined to the flanks: they alternate inside runs, drops to participate in circulation, and deep attacks behind the defense, creating constant role exchanges. This strategy allows their attack to gain fluidity, causes mismatches in the opponent’s marking, and enables the team to advance with more players. Midfielder Habib Keïta is suspended and confirmed as a missing player for the next round.

In away matches, the most common result at the end of the first 45 minutes was 0-0, which occurred in 3 of their 9 games.

In 17 matches for the Turkish Super League, they conceded the first goal 6 times but managed to turn the score around in 2 matches.

Trabzonspor started 2026 with an impressive victory over İstanbulspor away (1-6) in the Turkish Cup. In the Super League, they are performing well despite losing their last match away to Gençlerbirliği (4-3), with goals scored by Felipe Augusto (2x) and Ernest Muci. The team is organized in a 4-3-3 system, centralizing Felipe Augusto as a support point in attack, guiding the occupation of the final third. Surrounding him, Ernest Muci and Kazeem Olaigbe do not play fixed on the sides, alternately approaching inward, making deep runs, and dropping back to participate in the build-up, which accelerates the pass exchange and expands progression options, keeping the team situated in high areas of the field and creating different pathways to access the opponent’s area. Paul Onuachu, who is participating in the CAN with his national team, is the only confirmed absentee for the next match.
