FK Krasnodar vs Trabzonspor Predictions

Krasnodar are set to host Trabzonspor in this Thursday evening’s Europa League Group C clash. Krasnodar are currently sitting 2 points ahead of bottom-placed Trabzonspor in Europa League Group C. They will hope to enjoy a repeat of their previously successful away trip to Trabzonspor in this Thursday’s fixture. 

We feel that this Thursday’s Group C clash promises to be an exciting and highly competitive fixture. Neither of these two teams have been strangers to entertaining and competitive games this season. 

Both teams have scored in 5 of Krasnodar’s last 6 games in all competitions. Furthermore, Krasnodar have delivered high scoring and entertaining games in their most recent Europa League fixtures. Both teams have scored in 4 of Krasnodar’s last 6 Europa League games. 

Similarly, both teams have scored in 6 of Trabzonspor’s last 8 competitive fixtures. 

Neither of these two teams have shown particularly impressive defensive ability this season. Trabzonspor have not kept a single clean sheet in 17 competitive games this season. Meanwhile, Krasnodar’s defensive record this season hasn’t been much better than Trabzonspor’s. Krasnodar have kept just 5 clean sheets in their 23 fixtures this season.

We feel that Thursday’s game is likely to deliver goals at both ends. We predict that both teams will score in this game. 

Trabzonspor’s dismal defensive record doesn’t bode well for them ahead of Thursday’s away game versus a Krasnodar side who have scored in each of their last 7 matches. 

Furthermore, Krasnodar have been enjoying an impressive run of form in recent weeks. They are currently undefeated in their last 5 competitive games. On top of that, Krasondar have lost just 1 of their last 8 Europa League home games. 

Contrastingly, Trabzonspor have failed to win each of their last 4 Europa League games. We are confident that Krasnodar can secure all 3 points from this Thursday’s fixture. We predict that a 2-1 win for Krasnodar is a likely outcome of this fixture.
