Prediction

  • Samsunspor shared points with Gaziantep in a 1-1 draw last time out. This was a balanced game and both teams looked more comfortable sitting deep than taking chances going forward. At home, Samsunspor have been quite impressive lately. Expect them to dominate possession and spend a lot of time in the final third here.
  • Rizespor were beaten 3-1 by Fenerbahce last time out. This was yet another game marked by amateurish mistakes at the back. Palut also lost to key midfielders in Shelvey and Sarikaya to suspension. His team have not won in their last four outings and that run is unlikely to come to an end here.
