Amed vs Trabzonspor

The Turkish Süper Lig continues on Sunday evening as Amed host Trabzonspor in the third round of the regular season on 31 August 2026. Both sides are looking to build early momentum in a campaign that promises contrasting ambitions for the newly established top-tier club and the seven-time champions.

Amed: Establishing Themselves in the Top Tier

Amed, who made their Süper Lig debut in the 2023‑24 season, are now competing in their fourth consecutive campaign among Turkey’s elite. The club’s rise through the divisions captured the imagination of their fervent support base in the Kurdish southeast, and they have gradually added layers of resilience to their game. Under the current coaching staff, Amed have become known for a compact defensive shape and the ability to punish opponents on the counter, traits that have made them a tricky proposition at home.

Trabzonspor: Seven-Time Champions Seeking Consistency

Trabzonspor’s last league triumph arrived in the 2021‑22 campaign, adding a seventh title to the club’s storied history. Since then, the Black Sea side have navigated a period of transition while remaining a regular presence in the race for European qualification. Attacking midfielder Abdülkadir Ömür continues to be the creative heartbeat of the team; his close control, vision and ability to slide defence‑splitting passes make him the player Trabzonspor look to when facing a deep‑lying block.
