Samsunspor fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being the 1-2 Super Lig victory over Bodrumspor.
In that match, Samsunspor had 46% possession and 6 shots on goal with 4 on target. For Samsunspor, the scorers were Olivier Ntcham (11') and Landry Dimata (38'). Bodrumspor got 22 shots at goal with 6 on target. Ahmet Aslan (4') was the scorer for Bodrumspor.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Samsunspor have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Samsunspor have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 8 goals on the way. That kind of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.
Coming into this contest, Samsunspor haven’t won at home in the past 2 league matches.

Team News: Samsunspor
There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Samsunspor gaffer Thomas Reis to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Youssef Aït Bennasser (unknown injury) won’t play.
It looks as if Kırmızı Şimşekler should use a 4-2-3-1 formation for the game with Okan Kocuk, Zeki Yavru, Lubomir Satka, Rick Van Drongelen, Marc Bola, Yunus Emre Cift, Olivier Ntcham, Kingsley Schindler, Carlo Holse, Emre Kilinc and Landry Dimata.

Eyüpspor boss Arda Turan has multiple availability issues to deal with. Taras Stepanenko (unknown injury), Sinan Gümüş (unknown injury), Taşkın İlter (Cruciate ligament injury), Erdem Gökçe (unknown injury) and Fredrik Midtsjø (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.
We reckon that Eyüpspor will likely begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 system with a starting lineup of Berke Ozer, Ruben Vezo, Robin Yalcin, Luccas Claro, Umut Meras, Melih Kabasakal, Emre Akbaba, Yalcin Kayan, Emre Mor, Prince Ampem and Mame Baba Thiam.
