Samsunspor - Sivasspor predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Sivasspor. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Samsunspor is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Sivasspor.

When we talk about Samsunspor’s previous Super Lig result, it’s fair to say hosts can be pretty happy to have avoided a heavier defeat. They were the 5.80 underdogs last time out and a narrow Trabzonspor HT/FT loss is not something to scoff at.

The odds were stacked against Sivasspor in their previous Super Lig match against Galatasaray despite their home-field advantage. Top bookies were still giving them 1.73odds to win, and records show that they played from behind for most of the runtime. They snagged an unexpected equaliser in the late game and walked off with a single point for the tally.

Samsunspor can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

With 7 consecutive appearances with at least one goal to their name, the visiting team can feel confident. Either way, their matches are more likely to confirm the BTTS betting market.

Samsunspor are occupying a dangerous 17th place, sitting well within the relegation zone. They’ll need another 0 points if they want to get out of it, but we’re still early enough in the season for fans to be hopeful.

If there’s one thing to note about the history of this matchup, it’s a fact their matches tend to end in a draw. Several matches this season ended inconclusively, so it neems neither team is able to reliably tip the scales one way or another.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Bedirhan Çetin, Zeki Yavru, Nanu, Gaetan Laura, Kingsley Schindler for the hosts, and Emrah Başsan, Abdulkadir Parmak, Burak Kapacak for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

The 10Bet sportsbook is offering 1.85 odds on the Both Teams to Score market, which is a very good bet to take. Considering the team’s records and statistics, it’s as safe of a bet as possible.
