Galatasaray vs Samsunspor Prediction and Betting Tips | November 10th 2024

Fresh off the back of sinking Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League, Galatasaray play host to Samsunspor in round 12 of Turkish Super Lig on Sunday. Thomas Reis’ men will visit Rams Park looking to get one over the hosts, having lost the last four meetings between the two sides since September 2011.

Galatasaray maintained their fine run of results in the Europa League as they secured a 3-2 victory over Premier League side Tottenham at Rams Park on Thursday.

This was in keeping with their impressive performances in the Super Lig, where Okan Buruk’s side are the only unbeaten team this season, having picked up nine wins and one draw from their 10 matches so far.

With 28 points from the first 30 available, Galatasaray currently lead the way at the top of the league standings, three points and one place above Sunday’s visitors.

Samsunspor, on the other hand, turned in another solid team display last time out when they secured a comfortable 2-0 victory over Antalyaspor at the Samsun 19 May Stadium.

Thomas Reis’ men have gone eight back-to-back games without defeat, claiming one draw and seven wins, including a penalty-shootout victory over third-tier Bayburt in the Turkish Cup qualifiers on October 31.

Samsunspor’s impressive start to the campaign has been due to their performances on the road, where they boast the division’s best record, having won all five away games in the league so far.
