[Super Lig Turkey] Trabzonspor is unbeaten in the last five matches in all competitions (three wins and two draws).

After finishing last season in third place in the Turkish Super League, Trabzonspor has struggled to replicate its former success this season, currently sitting in the middle of the table. The team is in 11th place and trails fourth-place Eyüpspor by 13 points. Furthermore, the club failed to qualify for the Conference League, losing to Swiss side St. Gallen in the qualification rounds.

However, recent performances offer hope. Trabzonspor first secured an impressive victory in the Turkish Cup against Alanyaspor (3:0), then continued their strong run in the league, thrashing Antalyaspor (5:0) and Sivasspor (4:0). In the last Super League round, the team drew 0:0 with Kayserispor, which prevented them from extending their winning streak. A cup match against Iskenderunspor also ended in a 2:2 draw.

In January, Eyüpspor played five matches and won all of them, conceding only one goal. In the Super League, the club comfortably defeated Antalyaspor (4:1), Alanyaspor (3:0), Bodrumspor (1:0), and Sivasspor (1:0), while in the Turkish Cup, they secured a modest 1:0 victory over Boluspor in the first round of the group stage.

Arda Turan's side occupies 4th place in the Super League standings, despite being a newcomer to the top division. Moreover, they are just 4 points behind third-placed Samsunspor, another surprise of the season, although their opponent has played one match more. A surprising loss came in the second round of the Turkish Cup to Konyaspor (1:3).
