*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Trabzonspor have been one of the worst travellers in the Super Lig, as they are one of three teams without a win on the road this season. Senol Gunes' troops are 15th in the 19-team table, just above the relegation zone after 14 league games.
In contrast, Galatasaray are six points clear at the top of the table. Okan Buruk's men are the only undefeated team in Turkey's top flight with 38 points earned from a possible 42.
With that in mind, it is unsurprising that Galatasaray are the expected winners at 4/11 (1.36). Teams with these odds usually have a 73.3% probability of winning.
