One of the matches of the 35th round of the Turkish Super League will be played in Samsun, where on Saturday evening, local Samsunspor will host Trabzonspor. I suggest betting on the outcome of this encounter with a good coefficient.
Match preview
"Samsunspor" started confidently in 2025, showing excellent football. The team played three matches, winning two of them: first, they beat Trabzonspor 2-1, and then narrowly defeated Kayserispor 1-0. In the last round, the "Red Lightning" played an away match against Besiktas and managed to grab one point, drawing 0-0.
The team is showing solid results at home. In the last nine home matches, they have five victories, two draws, and two losses — more than a decent record. Such stability has allowed the team to secure third place in the table, ahead of their nearest competitor, Göztepe, by three points. However, there is still a significant gap of eight points to second place.
"Gaziantep" is firmly holding its spot in the top 10 of the championship, occupying the eighth position. However, the fierce competition in the Turkish Super League means that losing points could immediately push the team down to the middle of the table, as Sivasspor, in 15th place, is just six points behind. In the last round, Gaziantep hosted Bodrumspor and drew 0-0. The team has not lost for four consecutive rounds, securing two victories during this period. However, their away statistics are disappointing. In nine matches, the team has only one victory and six losses.
Possible lineups
- Samsunspor: Koçuk - Van Drongelen, Bola, Satka, Yavru - Tait, Ntcham, Kilinç, Aydın - Muandilmadji, Dimata
- Gaziantep: Bozan - M'Bakata, Ersoy, Kızıldağ, Eskihelac - Sărescu, Ndiaye, Kozlovski, Okerke - Maxim - Dervişoğlu
Match facts and head-to-head
- In the first half of the season, Samsunspor defeated their opponent away 1-0.
- The "both teams to score" bet has only hit in two out of five matches.
- The "Total over 2.5" bet has played out in two out of five matches.
Prediction
The bookmakers favor the hosts, and this makes sense. The team plays well at home and rightly holds a top-3 spot. We believe that taking "Samsunspor to win" with a coefficient of 1.82 is a good bet.
