Samsunspor vs Trabzonspor prediction

THE FORECAST

Trabzonspor arrive in strong form with an impressive 4-0 win over Galatasaray and superior attacking (2.2 gf) and defensive (0.8 ga) averages, making them clear favourites despite Samsunspor's home advantage. Samsunspor are badly depleted with eleven injuries and a suspension, have scored just one goal across four matches, and their large squad turnover (many departures) adds further instability. Trabzonspor do face a Conference League fixture in five days which raises slight rotation risk, but the gulf in quality and form is large enough to back the away side confidently.
