Samsunspor - Alanyaspor predictions

We don’t expect Samsunspor to have any issues beating Alanyaspor. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.75 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

At 4.60 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Alanyaspor are well aware of it themselves.

Samsunspor lost their previous away game, although the narrow 3:2 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, Galatasaray , their opponents, were given odds of 1.38 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and Samsunspor never managed to equalize.

Alanyaspor are coming on the back of a 0:0 away draw in the previous round against Bodrumspor. The score was even at half-time and remained so until the final whistle. Alanyaspor were clear underdogs in that matchup, though, so they’re happier with the outcome than their opponents.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

Alanyaspor are displaying a sort of consistency in their away games, though not necessarily in a good way. The past two ended with 1 or 0 goals between them and the opposition, for example.

The 3rd spot in the standings Samsunspor currently hold is promising – though they’re set on moving up further into the Champions League spots, Europa League finish to the season would still be a good prize for the hosts.

The away team’s position is looking harder with each passing round, although the fact that there are plenty of rounds to go is their saving grace. Firstly, they’re in the relegation zone and they’ll need 0 points to get out. Moreover, Samsunspor will be an exceedingly difficult opponent to play against, so earning even a single point is no easy feat.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, but one head-to-head records tell a slightly different story. They suffered a harsh defeat by Alanyaspor in the previous season, so their position as favourites is not as sound as it might seem.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.88, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
