After 18 matches played, the team is in sixth place, lagging behind the European Cup zone by only one point.

Samsunspor
TurkeyCurrent form
Samsunspor, like its upcoming opponent, is pleasing with its results in 2025. The team played two matches and won two of them. First, there was a triumph over Trabzonspor (2:1), and then over Kayserispor (1:0). The team also plays well away from home, and statistics confirm this. In the last ten away games, the visitors won seven times, lost twice and tied once. High-quality play allowed them to confidently take third place, ahead of their closest pursuer by five points, but the gap to second place is also considerable - six points.

2.30Tip and bets
Both teams are currently on the rise, and of course, neither wants to interrupt their winning streak. The clubs are fighting for high places in the tournament table and understand perfectly well that by sitting in their penalty area, they will not be able to achieve the desired result - three points. The teams also play effectively among themselves, because in four of the six previous personal meetings, the opponents upset each other. We are inclined to believe that they will be able to do this in the upcoming meeting.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.67
Bet on the outcome
In the last six head-to-head encounters, the home field factor did not help any club. Those matches either resulted in a draw or a win for the away team. We believe that Besiktas is currently in good form and is quite capable of breaking the trend of not winning in front of home fans. Samsunspor have won only once in their last four away games, and there is a possibility that they will not be able to improve this statistic.
Our prediction is a Besiktas victory with odds of 2.10
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the game will be closed, because the strong point of both clubs is precisely the attack line. Therefore, it is very likely that the two will be able to make quite a few passes from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.81
