Team News

French ace Pape Gueye scored on his debut for Kasimpasa as they started out a Super Lig campaign without last season's top scorer Nuno Da Costa. Gueye should feature as the leading man, with Haris Hajradinovic supporting from slightly deeper.

Trabzonspor are set to remain without Paul Onuachu, Anthony Nwakaeme and Borna Barisic, while Cihan Canak, Oleksandr Zubkov and Onuralp Cevikkan will all be assessed.

Kasimpasa vs Trabzonspor Odds

Kasimpasa are slight underdogs at 8/5 despite having home advantage, with Trabzonspor priced at 7/5 for victory and the draw trading at 23/10.

Over 2.5 goals is an 8/13 chance, with both teams to score priced at 1/2. Last week's debut goalscorer Pape Gueye is a 6/1 chance to break the deadlock.

Over 3.5 goals @ 6/4

Recent clashes between this pair have been full of goals, with 17 in the last four league meetings, yielding an average of 4.25 per game.

It's early in the season but there were three goals in Kasimpasa's opener last weekend and two of their final three matches last season breached the 3.5-goal mark.

Trabzonspor were 1-0 winners on matchday one but could have scored more against Kocaelispor. These sides have a history of producing goals and it could well occur again.

Draw and BTTS @ 3/1

The teams are hard to split on paper. After a tame end to last season Shota Arveladze was appointed to the Kasimpasa hotseat in July, but his side have yet to show much in the way of progress, following up some mixed pre-season form with last weekend's loss.

Both meetings last season ended in draws, 1-1 at Monday's venue and 2-2 at Trabzonspor. All told, four of the last seven head-to-heads have ended all square.

Given their propensity for goals, the 2-2 draw at 10/1 is tempting, but the score draw at a reasonable 3/1 is preferred with Fatih Tekke's Trabzonspor side having won just three of their 18 away matches last term.
