Antalyaspor v Trabzonspor: top-three push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Antalyaspor host Trabzonspor in the Süper Lig on Friday, 30 January 2026 in Antalya, with the visitors defending third place and the hosts aiming to pull further clear of the relegation places.

Trabzonspor have had the better of this fixture, winning 12 past meetings to Antalyaspor's three, including a 1-0 victory in August. They arrive third on 41 points, while the home side sit 14th after 19 games.

Recent league form points to a tight contest. Antalyaspor followed a goalless draw at Kasımpaşa with a 2-1 home win over Gençlerbirliği. Trabzonspor, beaten at Gençlerbirliği in December, have responded with back to back league wins against Kocaelispor and Kasımpaşa.

Team news could shape selections. Antalyaspor are without Erdogan Yesilyurt and Abdulkadir Omur, both injured. Trabzonspor list Edin Visca, Stefan Savic and Rayyan Baniya as injured, while Boran Başkan is suspended until 13 February.

The match-up may hinge on contrasting profiles. Trabzonspor average 1.9 goals per game and 54% possession with 85.53% passing accuracy, and carry a notable aerial threat with 10 headed goals. Paul Onuachu is second in the league scoring chart with 12, supported by Felipe Augusto on nine and Ernest Muci on eight. Antalyaspor have scored 18 and conceded 32, averaging 0.9 for and 1.7 against, so keeping crosses under control could be critical.

A home win would take Antalyaspor to 22 points and could move them further from the relegation zone. Victory for Trabzonspor would lift them to 44 points and strengthen their grip on third place and the Europa League qualification berth.
