In the last Turkish championship, the red lightning failed to break into the top 4 and compete for a place in the European Cup. The team took only seventh place in the standings and made a bit of noise in Europe, reaching the 1/8 finals of the Conference League. In preparation for the new season, Thomas Rice's team held five control meetings, in which they won and lost twice and drew one match. In the last game, Samsunspor lost 0:3 to Kasimpasha.
The Izmir-based club competed for the European Cup last season, but lost its place in the TOP 4 and fell five points behind fourth-placed Besiktas. More specifically, Goztepe took the sixth place in the standings, and it was unrealistic to resist the grandees of Turkish football. Before preparing for the new championship, Stanimir Stoilov's team held seven control meetings and did not suffer a single defeat (six wins and one draw).
In our opinion, there will be no intrigue in today's match. Samsunspor surpasses its opponent in class and has defeated Geztepe in three consecutive face-to-face games on its own field. The hosts suffered the last defeat from an opponent in their native penates 10 years ago, and sensations are most likely not worth waiting for. We believe that Thomas Rice's team will earn the first three points in the new season, and a goodoption would be to bet on the victory of the red lightning.
Prediction — Samsunspor wins with a coefficient of 2.15
The bet is an accurate score of 2:1
In 3 of the last 5 meetings of the Red Lightning, such a score was recorded
