National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Samsunspor or Adanaspor that keep their silverware dream alive.
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 Samsunspor and Adanaspor.
Samsunspor form and stats
Last season their Turkish Cup adventure ended in the 5th round.3 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Samsunspor have to build on here at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu in the 1. Lig.
The Samsunspor goalkeeper Aykut Özer is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the 1. Lig.
Samsunspor's last game was hosting Goztepe and winning 1-0. Manager Eroğlu felt very clever after Güneren scored the winning goal against Goztepe, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 35th minute.
In the game before, an away victory in the 1. Lig match versus Pendikspor with a 2-0 scoreline.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Samsunspor's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 12 games, won 9 matches, drawn 2 and lost 1.
There will be little rest for Samsunspor after this match as they are travelling to Tuzlaspor for a 1. Lig game in only four days.
Samsunspor have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu with 9 goals in 6 league matches.
Adanaspor form and stats
Last season their Turkish Cup adventure ended in the 4th round.Adanaspor have only collected 2 points from their away games in the 1. Lig, after 0-2-4 (6 played).
Coban, Jallow and Roche scored in Adanaspor's previous match, the home game against Pendikspor that ended 3-2.
A 0-1 defeat away at Boluspor before that.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Adanaspor playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 5 home wins.
The schedule is very tough for Adanaspor now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 1. Lig game at BB Erzurumspor is waiting in only three days.
Adanaspor have scored 8 goals on their travels this season, from 6 away games in the league.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Samsunspor wins - draws - Adanaspor wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
