Conference League: Trabzon vs Hearts 22/10/26

Shots Betting

Trabzonspor go into this match in great spirits, with four straight wins since Reis took charge and a goal difference of 13-2. The convincing 4-0 victory over Galatasaray stands out in particular, while Salah, with nine goals in 11 matches, has been one of the main drivers behind the hosts’ excellent results. Hearts, on the other hand, are coming off a disastrous trip to Celtic and a 7-1 defeat, which once again showed how much trouble the Scots can have against stronger opponents.

I believe Trabzonspor will impose their rhythm from the first minute and control the game, while Hearts will mostly look for their chances on the counter. Last season the visitors averaged 14.3 shots per game in the domestic league, but it is important to note that in most of those matches they were either an equal opponent or the favourite. This time they face a much tougher task against a side playing with plenty of confidence, one that in my opinion will have far more of the ball.

Hearts’ attacking potential shouldn’t be written off completely, especially since they have scored in each of their last 16 matches. Still, I think the Scots will find it hard to reach the final third and won’t have enough space for a large number of attempts on goal. For all these reasons, my pick is under 11.5 Hearts shots.
