Samsunspor - Antalyaspor predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Samsunspor on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Samsunspor supporters saw 90 minutes of torture in the last round of Super Lig. Their team fell behind in the first half and things quickly went from bad to worse, resulting in a devastating Galatasaray defeat.

The visiting team are coming on the back of an HT/FT defeat in their most recent home game, which was painful but quite expected. As a point of reference, top online bookmakers priced their victory at no less than 1.57, indicating they never had much of a shot in the first place.

Samsunspor’s previous 5 games all featured two goals or less on the scoreboard. A successful Over 2.5 Goals bet seems very unlikely, based on past performances.

Although the 2.43 betting odds for a home win show that Samsunspor are the favourites, their track record against Antalyaspor this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Bedirhan Çetin, Moryke Fofana, Gaetan Laura, Ercan Kara are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Samsunspor’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Thankfully, Antalyaspor will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.81.
