The season is still fairly new and the 1. Lig table has to be read with caution. So far Samsunspor find themselves in 5th position and İstanbulspor are placed 1st.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Samsunspor form and stats
As mentioned below, Samsunspor are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 1. Lig games. Samsunspor has a nice streak going on as they have played 16 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Corum Belediyespor defeat 314 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Samsunspor tasted defeat here at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu, as they have taken at least one point from their last 28 home games in the league.
The Samsunspor supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Akhisar Belediyespor in 1. Lig and win 1-0. Before that, Samsunspor played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Bandırmaspor.
Manager E. Sağlam felt very clever after İ. Yavuz scored the winning goal against Akhisar Belediyespor, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 26th minute.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Samsunspor matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and zero defeats (from two games).
The manager E. Sağlam will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Eskişehirspor in only three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Samsunspor's 2 home games: 4 goals, 0 conceded.
İstanbulspor form and stats
İstanbulspor are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 1. Lig, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Impressive finishing from K. Abazaj and O. Ergün secured the home win 2-1 against Bandırmaspor in their previous game. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Bandırmaspor.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of İstanbulspor when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing one and winning zero games.
3 goals so far away for İstanbulspor, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last six meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Samsunspor, five draws and one win for İstanbulspor. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
