Kayserispor v Trabzonspor: European push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Kayserispor host Trabzonspor in the Süper Lig on Monday, 9 March 2026 in Kayseri, with the visitors chasing European qualification and the hosts battling to climb out of the relegation places.

Head-to-head trends favour Trabzonspor, who have won 57% of the listed meetings and beat Kayserispor 4-0 in October 2025. That backdrop adds weight to a high-stakes night at both ends of the table.

Kayserispor come in with one win from their last five league games, though they kept three clean sheets in that run. Trabzonspor have won four of their last five in all competitions, including back-to-back league victories over Gaziantep and Fatih Karagümrük.

Team news could shape selection. Kayserispor are without suspended defender Abdulsamet Burak, while Majid Hosseini, Emre Çeltik and Kayra Cihan are injured. Trabzonspor list Edin Visca, Tim Jabol-Folcarelli, Benjamin Bouchouari and Chibuike Nwaiwu as injured.

The match-up points to contrast. Kayserispor have scored 18 league goals and conceded 43, with 46% possession and no goals from set pieces so far. Trabzonspor have 48 goals, 55% possession and 15 headed strikes, with Paul Onuachu leading the league on 18 goals, supported by Ernest Muci and Felipe Augusto on 10 apiece. Crosses and aerial delivery could be a decisive route for the visitors.

A home win would take Kayserispor to 23 points and could move them out of the bottom three. Victory would lift Trabzonspor to 54 points, strengthening their grip on third and keeping pressure on the top two.
