İstanbul Başakşehir - Samsunspor predictions

Samsunspor will give İstanbul Başakşehir a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.38 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Given their reputation for perseverance, we expect Samsunspor to give their best effort in this match.

The latest away win we saw from İstanbul Başakşehir came as quite a surprise. They were in a stalemate for most of the first half against Gazişehir Gaziantep , a relatively tough match-up. The second half swung completely in their favour, however, resulting in a decisive 0:2 victory.

Samsunspor are coming on the back of a 3:0 victory in their most recent Super Lig game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Rizespor was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

Samsunspor netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Most of the season is already behind us, but Samsunspor will still need to be careful not to drop into the relegation zone. With the betting odds for an away win set at 3.19 in this matchup, though, it would be hard to feel confident in their shoes. The end of the season is approaching rapidly, and they’ll need to scramble for points if they want any sort of satisfying outcome.

İstanbul Başakşehir may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Samsunspor this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Mahmut Tekdemir, Ömer Ali Şahiner, Patryk Szysz, Léo Duarte, Dimitris Pelkas, Onur Ergün, Ousseynou Ba, Emirhan İlkhan for the hosts, and Bedirhan Çetin, Marc Bola, Emre Kılınç for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

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 1.76.
