Konyaspor - Samsunspor predictions

Konyaspor may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Samsunspor. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.60 for the hosts to win.

Samsunspor are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Konyaspor went behind in the first half of their last Super Lig clash. Playing away against a tough rival is never easy and Konyaspor can even count themselves lucky to return home with a narrow Kayserispor defeat.

The Sunday’s away team heads into this Super Lig match on the back of a solid HT/FT home win (2:0) over Hatayspor. It was a rather straightforward triumph during which Samsunspor went ahead early on and never let their lead get in danger.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Konyaspor don’t tend to fare too well at Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Konyaspor.

Currently, at number 3rd in the Super Lig standings, Samsunspor have done quite well for themselves. Some of their most difficult games are still ahead of them, though, so the Europa League qualification is not a sure thing. This also means they have a shot at ranking higher, but they’ll need to get through Konyaspor first.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Konyaspor are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.05 odds offered at Pncl.
