Samsunspor will not be too disheartened with their 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Caykur Rizespor who sit so many places above them in the table.  They came away from that fixture with 69% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Caykur Rizespor managed 8 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.  

Despite scoring 4 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period.  They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

Serious concerns will be mounting for Kırmızı Şimşekler, having gone without a win in their last 7 league games and lost the last 6 in a row.

Istanbul Basaksehir will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Gaziantep.  In that game they recorded 52 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 15 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.  

Their current form can't be viewed positively, having clocked up 3 losses from their last 6 games and only 2 wins to speak of.  

João Figueiredo will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Samsunspor in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Istanbul Basaksehir.
