ℹ️ Team News: Samsunspor

It seems likely that Kırmızı Şimşekler look set to use the 3-4-1-2 system in the match featuring Okan Kocuk, Zeki Yavru, Lubomir Satka, Rick Van Drongelen, Kingsley Schindler, Yunus Emre Cift, Olivier Ntcham, Marc Bola, Carlo Holse, Landry Dimata and Emre Kilinc.

We reckon that Yiğidolar appear most likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 system, giving starts to Ali Vural Sasal, Murat Paluli, Uros Radakovic, Samba Camara, Ugur Ciftci, Samuel Moutoussamy, Efkan Bekiroglu, Charis Charisis, Tolga Cigerci, G. Mendes Rodrigues and Rey Manaj.

💭 Prediction

For this match, we think that Sivasspor will likely create enough chances to get a goal against this Samsunspor lineup, but that probably shouldn’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Samsunspor at the end of this one. We are expecting it to be pretty even.
