Trabzonspor vs Samsunspor Prediction and Betting Tips | January 11th 2024

The action continues in the Turkish Super Lig as Trabzonspor and Samsunspor go head to head at Papara Park on Thursday.

Markus Gisdol’s men will head into the midweek clash desperate to get one over the home side, having lost their last three meetings since January 2012.

Trabzonspor kicked off the new year on a high as they picked up a 1-0 victory over Ankaragucu at the Eryaman Stadium last Saturday.

Abdullah Avci’s men have now gone four consecutive games without defeat, claiming one draw and three wins, including a 3-1 victory over Corum FK in the Turkish Cup fourth round on December 6.

With 33 points from 18 matches, Trabzonspor are currently third in the Super Lig table, just one point above fourth-placed Besiktas.

Samsunspor, on the other hand, resumed their quest to beat the drop as they scraped a 1-0 victory over Fatih Karagumruk in their first game of the year.

This followed a 3-1 Christmas Day defeat at the hands of Alanyaspor which saw their four-game unbeaten run come to an end.

With 18 points from 18 matches, Samsunspor are currently 17th in the league table but could move level with 13th-placed Ankaragucu with all three points on Thursday.
