Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Turkish Super Lig match.
Antalyaspor will host Trabzonspor in the final round of the Turkish Super Lig on 30 May 2025. These two squads represent cities on opposite coasts—Antalya on the Mediterranean and Trabzon on the Black Sea—separated by Turkey’s mountainous interior. Their league journeys have taken different paths: Antalyaspor are faltering, while Trabzonspor are gaining momentum.
Antalyaspor
Antalyaspor have slipped to 14th in the standings, but their place in the Super Lig is already assured. With just one round remaining, they are seven points above the relegation zone. Still, their recent form has been underwhelming. After Matchweek 31, the squad sat in eighth, but three defeats in their next five fixtures proved costly. A scheduled bye week, mandatory for all Turkish teams, further disrupted their momentum.
Trabzonspor
Since Fatih Tekke took charge in early March, Trabzonspor have climbed to seventh place. When the 47-year-old Trabzon native returned to the club where he began his career, they were in 11th. Over 10 matches under Fatih Tekke, Trabzonspor have registered four wins and four draws. He also led the team to the Turkish Cup final, where they were beaten by champions Galatasaray (3-0).
Antalyaspor vs Trabzonspor Prediction
Facing an unmotivated and out-of-form Antalyaspor, Trabzonspor are expected to claim the win. In the reverse fixture, they defeated Antalyaspor (5:0). While the margin may be slimmer away from home, the outcome is likely to be similar.
