Samsunspor vs Antalyaspor Prediction & Betting Tips (12 February)

Just promoted to the elite after its coronation in D2 last year, Samsunspor finds itself playing for maintenance this season and its 15th place was strongly threatened during the weekend with only two lengths ahead of the zone red at the start of this championship day. During the previous day, the locals saw their series of four days without defeat end against the irresistible formation of Galatasaray 0-2. In the process, last week, they were eliminated from the Turkish Cup at the stage of the 1/8th finals by Karagümrük 2-1. On the other side of the meadow, Antalyaspor did not throw its motivations into the sea in the race for Europe with only three small points behind Trabzonspor, 4th at the start of this day who will also have played during the day.

The Scorpions, like their evening opponent, suffered elimination in the Turkish Cup against Besiktas in the round of 16 1-2. A setback which comes a few days after their defeat in the league against the leader, Fenerbahce 0-2.

Absent against Galatasaray, Gaetan Laura (injured since November) will probably be out this evening. Recently, Nanu was loaned to Estrela in Portugal (D1) to regain playing time and self-confidence. Cup scorer despite the defeat, Marius (6 goals in the league) is clearly the most prolific element of this squad alongside Ntcham (4 goals in the league) and midfielder Kilinc (3 pawns, 3 assists) all both preserved in the Turkish Cup.

Opposite, Antalyaspor will probably have to make this trip without the Israeli, Jehezkel (6 goals, 2 assists in 13 appearances this season), absent for personal reasons. For the rest, the group will a priori be complete with the presence of the Polish international, Buksa (10 goals, 2 assists in the championship), Sam Larsson (3 pawns, 1 assist) or even Saric (3 goals) and Yesilyurt (2 goals, 2 caviars in the championship).
