Team News

Samsunspor
Fenerbahce
  • Manager Thomas Reis has a full squad available to pick from.
  • Mert Muldur will deputise for the injured Bright Osayi-Samuel.
  • Caglar Soyuncu is carrying a minor knock. He will be assessed and if deemed unfit, Alexander Djiku will start.
  • Irfan Can Egribayat and Ismail Yuksek, neither of whom were expected to start here, are injured.

Prediction

  • Samsunspor were 3-1 winners against Adana Demirspor last time out. They created very little but were clinical in front of goal. Reis's team has won 6 of their last 7 matches and are no pushovers. However, they've also only dropped points at home so far, losing their first two games in Samsun. An even bigger problem for the German manager is that his defence has struggled against teams boasting individual talents and Fenerbahce are certainly one of those sides.
  • Fenerbahce beat Antalyaspor 2-0 last time out. It was important for Mourinho's men to return to winning ways after the humiliating defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals Galatasaray. The Portuguese manager knows how dangerous Samsunspor can be, so he will not attack the game from the get go. Knowing he has players who can change the course the game in a split second, Mourinho is likely to start this cautiously.
  • Like in the Antalyaspor game, we might see Fenerbahce increasing pressure in the second half. And although Samsunspor are a formidable side, the Canaries are slight favorites here.

  • Fener DNB

  • Samsun is strong i think fener wil lose points.. btts 100%

  • if not red for Fener then easy win

  • fener wtf

  • I know it's far too early to call it but I think that Fener just lost the Super Lig, tonight. It was Kartal all day long, this Season. He lost by a margin, last year, it was nonsense to get rid of him- he got the best out of this group of Players.

  • @RichieRochdale this best what you can do is btts with fener matches

  • Dzeko TSA +200
