Samsunspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction and Betting Tips

The Turkish Super Lig returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Samsunspor and Fenerbahce go head-to-head at the Samsun 19 May Stadium on Sunday. Thomas Reis’ men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win both home and away meetings between the teams last season.

Samsunspor maintained their impressive early-season form in the Super Lig as they picked up a 3-1 victory over Adana Demirspor at the New Adana Stadium just before the international break.

Reis’ side have now won four games on the bounce, scoring 10 goals and keeping two clean sheets since a 1-0 defeat against Konyaspor at the Samsun 19 May Stadium on September 14.

With 18 points from eight matches, Samsunspor are currently second in the league table, two points and two places above this weekend’s visitors.

On the other hand, Fenerbahce needed a 71st-minute equalizer from Dusan Tadic to salvage a 1-1 draw against Twente in their Europa League clash last time out.

Joe Mourinho’s men now turn their focus to the Super Lig, where they have lost just one of their seven games this term while picking up five wins and one draw so far.

Fenerbahce head into the weekend unbeaten in their 15 away games in the league this year and will be looking to extend this impressive run.

Samsunspor vs Fenerbahce Head-To-Head and Key Numbers

Fenerbahce hold a clear upper hand in the history of this fixture, having won 10 of the last 17 meetings between the two teams.
Samsunspor have picked up three wins in that time, while the spoils have been shared on four occasions.
Fenerbahce are unbeaten in their 15 Super Lig away matches in 2024, claiming 12 wins and three draws since the turn of the year.
Samsunspor have won all but one of their last seven matches, with the 1-0 defeat at the hands of Konyaspor in September being the exception.

Samsunspor vs Fenerbahce Prediction

Samsunspor have enjoyed a superb start to the new campaign but will need to test their mettle against a star-studded Fenerbahce side.

Mourinho’s men boast the firepower needed to get this one over the line and we fancy them to secure a narrow victory this weekend.

Prediction: Samsunspor 1-2 Fenerbahce
