Match context and form
Trabzonspor welcome Beşiktaş to Medical Park Stadyumu in a clash that promises pace and plenty of noise from the stands — the stadium’s 41,513 capacity will be a factor as Trabzonspor chase to consolidate their 2nd place standing in the Super Lig. The fixture on 14/12/2025 (round 16) pairs an in-form Trabzon side that have not tasted defeat in their last ten outings against a Beşiktaş team that has been more up-and-down this season. Trabzonspor arrive riding a streak that reads W-W-W-W-D-D-W-W-W-W, an unbeaten run built on a sturdy defence and a ruthlessly efficient attack: 27 goals in 15 league matches (an average of 1.8 per game) while conceding just 13. Beşiktaş, sitting 5th with 25 points, are no pushovers — 26 goals scored in 15 matches (about 1.73 per game) but a slightly leakier defence that has allowed 19 goals so far.
Recent clashes and momentum
The teams last met earlier in the campaign with Beşiktaş edging Trabzonspor 2-1, a reminder that head-to-head history can swing either way.

Beşiktaş drew 2-2 with Gaziantep F.K., a result that featured Vaclav Cerny as the standout performer. Those snapshots underline a simple truth: both sides can score, and both have been involved in open, goal-filled encounters this season.
