Team News

Eyupspor
Samsunspor
  • Caner Erkin is likely to start at left-back as Umut Meras is sidelined with an injury.
  • Luccas Claro will deputise for the injured Ruben Vezo.
  • Fredrik Midtsjo has suffered a cruciate ligament tear and will not be able to feature for the remainder of the season.
  • Recep Niyaz and Tasos Chatzigiovanis, neither of whom were expected to start here, are also injured.
  • Robin Yalcin, Melih Kabasakal, and Ahmed Kutucu have served their suspensions and all will return to the starting XI.
  • Manager Thomas Reis has a full squad available to pick from.

Prediction

  • Eyupspor caused a massive upset keeping Galatasaray to a 2-2 draw last time out. They conceded a massive number of chances but Ozer had one of the best performances of his career and despite conceding two goals, was without a doubt man of the match. They'll need to be in better defensive shape against Samsunspor.
  • Samsunspor brushed Bodrumspor aside with a 4-0 victory last time out. The game was never in doubt as the home team was in control from the first minute onwards. Then they were eliminated from the Turkish Cup by fourth-tier 52 Orduspor, which, considering the lack of depth in Reis's squad, might be a blessing in disguise.
  • Both teams have punched above their weight so far this season. There isn't much that separates them and a draw is likely here.
