The Turkish Cup final between Beşiktaş and Trabzonspor is set to take place this Thursday.
Olympic Stadium, Istanbul
The Eagles have been underwhelming recently. In the last round, they should have crushed Hatayspor but ended with a disappointing 2-2 draw, further diminishing their chances for European competitions next season. A victory in the final could improve their situation, but facing this Trabzonspor side will be a tough challenge.
The team has reached the final with relative ease and secured the third spot in the regular season, guaranteeing a place in the Europa League. The players are currently in excellent form, having recently defeated Istanbul BB 1-0, which was crucial. Riding this wave of morale, they can aim for yet another trophy.
Since 2022, the teams have faced each other five times, with three matches ending in a draw (0:0, 2:2, 1:1), one victory for Beşiktaş (2:0), and one for Trabzonspor (3:0).
It's baffling why Beşiktaş are considered such favourites here. I believe Trabzonspor are stronger. The Maroon-Blues are in fighting form and can confidently overcome the Eagles. My pick would be a final win for Trabzonspor at 2.18, which is quite a sweet spot, or a less risky bet: X2.
