Samsunspor
- Besnik Hasi's team are flying high in 2nd place in the Super Lig 2026/2027 table with 17 points from eight games, while the hosts sit down in 17th having picked up just four points from eight games.
- The visitors are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions, picking up three wins and two draws, while Samsunspor are on a five-game losing streak in all games.
- In their latest game they came unstuck in a 1-0 defeat away to Erzurumspor FK, while previous games saw a 3-0 beating by Trabzonspor and a 4-1 loss at Kasimpasa.
Amed Sportif
- Amed Sportif will look to grab the three points in a close game when they make the trip to Samsun Yeni 19 Mayis Stadyumu, Turkiye, to face an out-of-form Samsunspor side on Saturday.
- Amed's last two results - a 2-2 draw away to Genclerbirligi and a 1-0 home win over Konyaspor, demonstrate the characteristics of the team that Hasi has forged since taking over on 10 June 2026.
- The promoted team are solid, well-organised and can keep the ball, but they are not afraid to put men behind the ball and play a counter attack, making them a bit like Besiktas on a smaller scale.
- Hasi's men have been more clinical in the final third, with Amed's attacking output averaging 1.33 goals-per-game in the Super Lig 2026/2027, but they do concede an average of 2.00 per away game, so this should be a tight contest.
Key Players
- Gift Orban has 7 in 6 in the league and 6 in 5 in all comps, while Celil Yuksel leads the scoring for the hosts with a solitary goal in 6 games, so Samsunspor need to get a little more bite from their midfield here.
