Trabzonspor – Kocaelispor Tip Süperlig, Matchday 1 on Monday, 11.08.25 at 20:30
The Süper Lig is finally back – and Trabzonspor kicks off with a home game against Kocaelispor. The hosts will naturally want to make a statement right away and underpin their European ambitions.
But beware: Kocaelispor is traveling with promotion euphoria, fresh confidence, and without much pressure. This is exactly the combination that has caused many favorites to stumble in the past. Trabzon will therefore need to be alert from the very first minute.

My Trabzonspor Kocaelispor tip: Both teams to score
Here are the reasons for my tip:
- Trabzon has not kept a clean sheet in 6 of its last 7 competitive games!
- There have been goals in each of the last 3 head-to-head matches!
- There have also been goals in 6 of Kocaelispor’s last 7 away games
Trabzonspor vs. Kocaelispor AI predictions:
The Trabzonspor Kocaelispor AI prediction from ChatGPT didn’t exactly blow me away! Two of the three suggestions don’t convince me, so I’d rather trust my own tip, which is based on the teams’ recent form, in what I hope will be a successful football bet!
“1st goal scorer: Paul Onuachu” at 3.30 is not a useful suggestion for me. The new signing from Southampton scored only four Premier League goals last season and has hardly played for his new club so far.
Predicted chance of winning:

“Under 2.5 goals” I wouldn’t necessarily bet on 2.02 either. Three of the last four direct encounters have produced more than two goals, so the trend is against a low-scoring game.
“Trabzonspor to win” at 1.61 is, in my opinion, a reasonably safe bet. Even though the last meeting between these two sides was almost 16 years ago, Trabzon should be able to win comfortably at home against the newly promoted side, albeit conceding a goal.
What you need to bear in mind when betting on Trabzonspor vs. Kocaelispor
- There have been over 3.5 goals in each of Kocaelispor’s last 8 league games
- Trabzonspor won both of their encounters in the 2008/09 first division season despite conceding a goal
- New signing Paul Onuachu scored just four Premier League goals for Southampton last season and has not played in any of Trabzonspor’s last three friendlies
- Kocaelispor has won its last two friendlies without conceding a goal
