Action continues in round 16 of the Turkish Super Lig as Trabzonspor play host to Besiktas at Papara Park on Sunday. Fatih Tekke’s men are one of just three sides unbeaten at home in the league and will head into the weekend looking to extend this impressive run.
Trabzonspor maintained their blistering run of results last Sunday as they secured a 2-1 victory over Goztepe when the two sides squared off at the Gursel Aksel Stadium.
Tekke’s side have won four straight games in all competitions, including a 2-0 victory over Vanspor in the Turkiye Kupasi qualifiers on December 12, and are unbeaten in each of their last 11 matches (8W 3D).
This fine run of results has seen Tekke's men surge into second place in the Super Lig table with 34 points from 15 matches, five points behind first-placed Galatasaray.
Elsewhere, Besiktas turned in a resilient team display last time out when they fought back from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw against Gaziantep at the Tupras Stadium.
Sergen Yalcin’s men are unbeaten in their most recent four games, picking up two wins and two draws since a 3-2 loss against Fenerbahce on November 2.
Besiktas have picked up 25 points from their 15 Super Lig matches so far to sit fifth in the league standings, level on points with sixth-placed Samsunspor.
