Trabzonspor v Fatih Karagümrük: European push meets relegation fight | OneFootball

Trabzonspor host Fatih Karagümrük in the Süper Lig on Friday, 27 February 2026 in Trabzon, with the hosts aiming to cement third place and the visitors fighting to revive their survival bid.

Trabzonspor have largely controlled this fixture, winning eight of the most recent 11 meetings. They sit third on 48 points, while Fatih Karagümrük are bottom on 13 and in the relegation zone.

Form points to momentum with the hosts: a 2-1 win at Gaziantep followed an end-to-end 3-2 defeat by Fenerbahçe, plus a 3-0 success at Samsunspor and a draw at Antalyaspor. Fatih Karagümrük drew 0-0 with Samsunspor last time out, having lost at Kasımpaşa and Göztepe either side of a home win over Antalyaspor.

Availability could bite both midfields: Edin Visca, Oleksandr Zubkov and Tim Jabol-Folcarelli are out for Trabzonspor, while Daniel Anthony Johnson and Joao Camacho are sidelined for Fatih Karagümrük, who also miss Baris Kalaycı through suspension.

On the pitch, Trabzonspor's attack looks primed to test a defence that has conceded 42 goals. The hosts have scored 45 at two per game, with 12 headed goals and 27.37% open-play cross accuracy. Paul Onuachu leads the league with 17 goals, while Ernest Muci and Felipe Augusto have 10 apiece. Fatih Karagümrük have scored 20 and may look to David Datro Fofana, their six-goal forward, but they must tighten up and avoid frequent offsides.

A win would take Trabzonspor to 51 points and could consolidate their grip on European qualification. Victory for Fatih Karagümrük would move them to 16 points and keep their survival bid alive in a crowded relegation fight.
