Fenerbahce vs Samsunspor Prediction and Betting Tips | January 21st 2024

Two sides at opposite ends of the Turkish Super Lig table square off on Sunday when Fenerbahce play host to Samsunspor at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.

While Ismail Kartal’s men hold a two-point lead at the top of the table, the Red Lightning currently sit just one point and two places above the relegation zone.

Fenerbahce turned in another performance of the highest quality as they steamrolled Adanaspor 6-0 in the Turkish Cup on Wednesday.

This was in keeping with their impressive form in the Super Lig, where they are on a three-game winning streak and are unbeaten in their last seven matches, claiming eight wins and two draws since a 3-2 defeat against Trabzonspor on November 4.

With 28 points from 10 matches, Fenerbahce currently sit at the top of the Super Lig standings, two points above second-placed Galatasaray.

Elsewhere, Samsunspor booked their spot in the next round of the Turkish Cup last time out when they picked up a 3-1 extra-time victory over Alanyaspor.

Markus Gisdol’s side have now won three of their four games since the turn of the year, including league victories over Fatih Karagumruk and Sivasspor respectively.

This upturn in form has seen Samsunspor surge from the relegation zone as they now sit 15th in the table, level on points with Gaziantep and Hatayspor.
