Trabzonspor 2 - 0 FT Eyüpspor

Trabzonspor Assert Title Credentials Against Eyüpspor

Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 40/100. Trabzonspor stamped their authority in the title race with a clinical 2-0 victory that left Eyüpspor searching for answers.

Early Precision Decides the Contest

The match was won in the opening quarter-hour. Felipe Augusto's 12th-minute finish, courtesy of T. Jabol-Folcarelli's assist, set the tone with intensity that never relented. Trabzonspor's 56% possession strangled Eyüpspor's rhythm from the opening whistle. The visitors managed just 44% of the ball and were forced into a reactive shell. Thirteen total shots—nine from inside the box—painted a picture of relentless pressure. Eyüpspor's defensive frailty, already evident in their 6-goals-for record this season, was exposed ruthlessly.

The Killing Blow Comes Early in the Second Half

C. Inao Oulai's 51st-minute second goal extinguished any lingering hope. Again, Jabol-Folcarelli orchestrated the move, and the balance of the contest tilted irreversibly. Yet this was no stroll. Eleven corners and set-piece pressure kept André Onana sharp—the goalkeeper's four saves proved crucial in a match where Eyüpspor's 1.19 expected goals suggested they created more than their league position warrants. The visitors were not outclassed in chance creation; they were outclassed in execution and defensive discipline.

Defensive Mastery in the Trenches

Mustafa Eskihellçaç orchestrated a defensive performance that underlined Trabzonspor's championship credentials. Seven wins from ten matches, 23 points, and a goal difference of +10 place them firmly in the stakes of the title race. Eyüpspor, languishing in 16th with 8 points, face a relegation battle that grows more acute with each defeat. This result is a watershed moment for both clubs—one consolidates their ascent, the other slides deeper into crisis.

Trabzonspor’s top-end push collides with Eyüpspor’s response

Average Entertainment Futmetrix Score: 52/100. A top-three side hunting the leaders against a restless mid-bottom outfit makes this one of October’s most revealing Süper Lig checkpoints.

The Setup

On 25 October 2025, Trabzonspor welcome Eyüpspor at the stadium in Round 10 of the Süper Lig regular season. The hosts look locked in: just one defeat in 14 league games, 31 points on the board and a +13 goal difference underline a team that controls games and usually finds a way.

Eyüpspor arrive in a very different place. Fifteenth in the table with 13 points from 15 matches and a -8 goal difference, they are searching for rhythm rather than headlines. Their recent run of DWDLL tells of inconsistency: flashes of resilience followed by dips that undo the work. Set against Trabzonspor’s steady push near the top, this becomes a quiet crunch match for credibility on both sides.

Data hints at a cagey opening. Trabzonspor concede little, Eyüpspor rarely open up fully away from home, and both teams may initially prioritise structure over chaos. Expect territory and possession to lean heavily towards the home side, with the visitors choosing their moments carefully.

Key Battle

The decisive contest should come between Trabzonspor’s settled attacking unit and Eyüpspor’s compact defensive block. The hosts like to squeeze opponents in, circulate the ball and work patiently for high-quality final-third actions, especially from wide-to-central combinations.

Eyüpspor’s task is to keep their back line narrow, protect the half-spaces and deny clean passing lanes into the box. Their best route lies in transition: breaking quickly into the space behind Trabzonspor’s advanced structure whenever they can force turnovers. The match will likely turn on whether Eyüpspor can survive long spells without the ball without losing their shape.

Our Prediction

Eyüpspor can frustrate early, slowing tempo and blocking central channels, but over 90 minutes Trabzonspor’s control and depth should prevail. As legs tire and spaces appear, the hosts’ pressure is expected to translate into clearer chances. We see Trabzonspor turning dominance of territory into goals after the interval and seeing the game out with authority. Predicted script: a professional, mostly controlled 2-0 home win, with the gap in quality showing gradually rather than explosively.
