After the first game it's Altay - Samsunspor 1-1 in points. Who will triumph in this second 1. Lig game of the season?

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Altay and Samsunspor.

Samsunspor have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
