Team News

Samsunspor
Kayserispor
  • Nanu, Olivier Nitcham and Kingsley Schindler are all away on international duty. Zeki Yavru will start at right-back and Emre Kilinc on the left wing.
  • Marc Bola will start at left-back as Rick van Drongelen is also injured.
  • Landry Diamata, who has served his suspension, will lead the attack in Marius Mouandilmadji's absence.
  • Bedirhan Cetin and Gaeten Laura, neither of whom were expected to start here, are both on the injury list.
  • Arif Kocaman is expected to start at centre-back as Majid Hosseini is with the Iran national team at the Asian Cup and Julian Jeanvier is with Guinea at AFCON.
  • Carlos Mane and Olivier Kemen are also at AFCON for Guinea-Bissau and Cameroon, respectively. Aylton Boa Morte is likely to start on the wing in their absence.
  • Anthony Uzodimma, who wasn't expected to start here, as Gokhaz Sazdagi has served his suspension and will return to the starting XI, is injured.
  • Miguel Cardoso is set to lead the attack as Stephane Bahoken is also nursing an injury.

Prediction

  • Samsunspor caused a massive upset by holding Fenerbahce to a 1-1 draw last time out. Claiming a point in Istanbul from the Canaries will boost their morale. Their recent home form has been quite impressive with three wins and a draw in their last four outings. We can expect a dominant performance from Samsunspor here.
  • Kayserispor suffered an embarrassing 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Istanbulspor last time out. This was their sixth loss in a row and even worse, they were outperformed by an Istanbulspor side that has struggled against every single team they faced this season so far.
