Kasimpasa

DWLWLL

Kasimpasa will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 2-0 Super Lig defeat last time out to Gaziantep.

In that game, Kasimpasa had 70% possession and 14 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. Gaziantep had 12 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Alexandru Maxim (6') and Arda Kızıldağ (33') scored for Gaziantep.

Sami Uğurlu's Kasimpasa have hit the back of the net a sum total of 7 times in their prior 6 outings. At the other end, the tally of goals that they have conceded in that same time stands at 9.

Coming into this clash, Kasimpasa haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. That's never good.

Samsunspor

LWLDDD

In their previous game, Samsunspor drew 1-1 in the Super Lig match with Adana Demirspor.

In that game, Samsunspor had 47% possession and 18 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Samsunspor was Landry Dimata (92'). At the other end, Adana Demirspor had 10 shots at goal with 3 on target. Stiven Mendoza (41') scored for Adana Demirspor.

The numbers tell their own story, and Samsunspor have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals overall. In defence, Samsunspor certainly have room for improvement. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be sustained into this game, however.

Coming into this contest, Samsunspor haven’t won away from home in the past 8 league matches. A poor run.

👥 Head to head

The last league meeting featuring the two was Super Lig match day 15 on 09/12/2023 and the score finished Samsunspor 4-2 Kasimpasa.

📋 Team News: Kasimpasa

Loret Sadiku (unknown injury), Driess Saddiki (unknown injury) and Erdem Çetinkaya (Cruciate ligament surgery) will be missing for Kasimpasa boss Sami Uğurlu. Taylan Aydın cannot play in this game through suspension.

It looks as if Apaçiler look set to line up in a 4-1-4-1 system for this one, handing starts to Andreas Gianniotis, K. Josiah Omeruo, Claudio Winck, Yasin Özcan, Emre Gedik, Gökhan Gül, Mamadou Fall, Haris Hajradinovic, Aytac Kara, Mortadha Ben Ouanes and Nuno da Costa.

📋 Team News: Samsunspor

Out of a mainly available squad, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Samsunspor gaffer Markus Gisdol to contend with. Lubomir Satka (Ankle surgery) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that Kırmızı Şimşekler could decide to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Okan Kocuk, Zeki Yavru, Alim Öztürk, Rick Van Drongelen, Soner Gonul, Taylan Antalyali, Y. Aït Bennasser, Arbnor Muja, Olivier Ntcham, Emre Kilinc and Marius Mouandilmadji.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Samsunspor and Kasimpasa could end up without much reward for their efforts here.

We’ll have to see, but a draw might be on the cards. Therefore, we predict a very even match with a 0-0 scoreline at the end of the 90 minutes.
