Trabzonspor have built the tightest defence in the Süper Lig, conceding just five goals in the opening seven matches of the season. This solidity has helped the Black Sea Storm accumulate 13 points and sit fifth in the table, instilling significant confidence within the squad.
The team, which conceded only six goals in the entire previous campaign, has started this term with similar discipline. Keeping three clean sheets in those seven games, Trabzonspor's defensive line has been bolstered by the performances of goalkeeper Onana. The Cameroonian shot-stopper has contributed with an average of 4.0 saves per match, repeatedly denying opponents.
Their most recent outing was a 3-0 away victory over Samsunspor on 10 October. With a recent form of WLWLW, Trabzonspor have scored 16 and conceded 5 for a +11 goal difference. Sitting three points behind leaders Galatasaray, the team now prepares to host second-placed Beşiktaş next. Ahead of this key fixture, you can review the team's current squad and check the full season fixtures schedule.
This defensive resilience provides a critical foundation for Trabzonspor's ambitions for the rest of the season. The Beşiktaş match is scheduled for Sunday, 18 October 2026.
