Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray Prediction: Gala expected to complete a domestic double

Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray: Prediction and odds on the Match on 14 May 2025

Galatasaray hope to complete a domestic double when they face Trabzonspor at Gaziantep Stadium on Wednesday. Gala have defeated Trabzonspor twice this season but they have failed to win the domestic Cup in their last five season. Can they make the needed change here? Below, I have the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head stats, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Trabzonspor: form and statistics

Trabzonspor suffered a 2-0 loss to Galatasaray in their last game in the league and the tension is now high to get revenge against the league leaders. Despite the hype of the league champions, Black Sea Storm managed 42% possession in the game with 13 shots. They defeated Goztepe 2-0 in the semis with goals from Ozan Tufan and an own goal from Simon Banza. They have been impressive in their recent games, having won four, drawn one, and lost one of their last six games. However, they have a high mountain to climb, having lost their last five games against the Lion.

Trabzonspor: Lineup

Trabzonspor will have Simon Banza in the no 9 position for this clash, while Vasilios Barkas is expected to be in the goal area. However, Ahmet Dogan Yildirim, Stefan Savic, Onuralp Cevikkan, and Borna Barisic are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

🔖 Trabzonspor starting lineup (4-5-1)

Goalkeeper – Vasilios Barkas

Defenders – Arif Boşluk, Arseniy Batagov, Okay Yokuşlu, Pedro Malheiro

Midfielders – John Lundstram, Batista Mendy, Anthony Nwakaeme, Oleksandr Zubkov, Danylo Sikan

Galatasaray: form and statistics

Galatasaray are on the verge of securing a domestic double after they had already secured a 24th league title with a 2-0 win over Trabzonspor in their last game. They enter this game with much confidence having won their last seven games and their last five against Trabzonspor. The Yellow-Reds defeated Konyaspor 5-1 in the semifinals and are looking to win their first League Cup in six seasons. The last time Gala won a league cup was in the 2018/2019 season.

Galatasaray: Lineup

Okan Buruk has enjoyed the exceptional form of Victor Osimhen this season and the Nigerian striker is expected to start this clash. However, Gala will be without Elias Jelert and Mauro Icardi for the remainder of the season.

🔖 Galatasaray starting lineup (4-3-3) 

Goalkeeper – Fernando Muslera

Defenders – Ismail Jakobs, Abdülkerim Bardakcı, Davinson Sánchez, Roland Sallai

Midfielders – Mario Lemina, Lucas Torreira, Barış Alper Yılmaz, Gabriel Sara, Yunus Akgün

Attacker — Victor Osimhen.

⛔️ Out: Elias Jelert (muscle injury), Mauro Icardi (ACL).

Trabzonspor vs Galatasaray match prediction 14 May 2025

Galatasaray are already the champions of the Turkish league, but there are still a lot for them to do in actualising the much-needed domestic double. Nevertheless, I believe they will secure the win in 90 minutes as they have already defeated the Black Sea Storm twice this season. Also, they have won their last five games against Trabzonspor. However, while Trabzonspor failed to score in their last match against Gala, I think they will get to the back of the net here.
