Karagumruk - Trabzonspor predictions and free betting tips [08/05/2024]

The semi-final return match of the Turkish Cup between "Fatih Karagumruk" and "Trabzonspor" is scheduled for Wednesday, 8 May at 17:30.

Fatih Karagumruk

The club from the fifteenth position in the league table is performing at an entirely different level in the Turkish Cup. They are evidently no mere visitors here. In the previous stage they eliminated "Galatasaray" 2:0 away, and in the first match against "Trabzonspor", they looked pretty solid, had the potential to clinch a draw while playing with an advantage, but fell slightly short.

Trabzonspor

Although the guests managed to clinch the previous encounter with a 3:2 victory, it's not to say they outperformed their rivals. The maroon-blues knocked out "Istanbul BB" 1:0 a bit earlier. I foresee a heated and close match as both teams have been showing their mettle lately. The guests boast a decent average individual total of 2.2 goals per match, and "Fatih Karagumruk" stands at 1.6.

Head-to-head

Since 2022, the teams have faced each other six times. Three victories for "Trabzonspor" (3:2, 5:1, 4:1), one for "Fatih Karagumruk" (4:1), and two matches ended in a draw (0:0, 1:1).

Match prediction Fatih Karagumruk - Trabzonspor

This is an incredibly difficult match to predict. The hosts need only a victory here, whereas the guests may settle for a draw, potentially drying out the game if they score first. My choice here is handicap 2(0) for 1.79, the maroon-blues are a little more experienced and know how to play such matches.
