Galatasaray vs Samsunspor Team News & Lineups
Galatasaray Team News & Lineup
Nigerian superstar Victor Osimhen should lead the line again for Galatasaray in this Friday’s Turkish Süper Lig clash. He’s in terrific form with 11 goals in his last 10 matches for club and country. However, he’s surprisingly only scored three times in the league this season.
While other big names like Leroy Sané and İlkay Gündoğan play important roles, local talent Baris Alper Yilmaz has often made the biggest contributions in Süper Lig encounters. He’s successfully filled in for Osimhen up front at times, but should be used as a creative winger here.
Major changes are not expected from the side that drew the derby with Fenerbahçe last weekend. The hosts are missing Senegalese defender Ismail Jakobs and Ivorian Wilfried Singo due to injuries.
Galatasaray predicted lineup vs Samsunspor (4-2-3-1): Çakır; Sánchez, Bardakcı, Lemina, Sallai; Torreira, Sara; Sané, Gündoğan, Yılmaz; Osimhen.
Samsunspor Team News & Lineup
The visitors are having a really strong season, largely thanks to their solid defence led by centre-back Rick van Drongelen. He’s done a great job of making blocks and aerial clearances to protect the goal of keeper Okan Kocuk.
Samsunspor are currently missing van Drongelen’s regular defensive partner, Lubomír Satka, though. The 30-year-old is injured, but Toni Borevković is a capable deputy who’s also blessed with great height.
At the other end of the pitch, Samsunspor will hope Senegalese striker Cherif Ndiaye can come up with another goal. He’s a threat when running with the ball and has scored four times in eight league appearances this campaign.
Samsunspor predicted lineup vs Galatasaray (4-1-4-1): Kocuk; Tómasson, van Drongelen, Borevković, Yavru; Makoumbou; Musaba, Aydın, Holse, Kılınç; Ndiaye.

Galatasaray vs Samsunspor Prediction
- Football pick: Samsunspor Double Chance (x2)
- Odds: 2.88 (22Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Galatasaray 1-1 Samsunspor
- 22Bet Booking Code: CTNFV
Galatasaray are the clear favourites to win this encounter, but it looks like a trap at such short odds. Samsunspor have only lost one of their opening 14 league fixtures. They also have an unbeaten away record, which suggests they should be very competitive.
They tend to use a conservative structure. Congolese international Antoine Makoumbou operates as a defensive midfielder in front of the back four. He’s capable of disrupting Gündoğan’s influence on the contest.
Galatasaray have been in poor domestic form, winning only one of their last four Süper Lig outings. Therefore, there are many reasons to suggest they’re not a safe pick, with Samsunspor Double Chance surely the value bet.
Galatasaray vs Samsunspor Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Galatasaray to score under 2 goals
- Odds: 1.99 (22Bet)
- 22Bet Booking Code: FNQFV
Samsunspor’s defence has held firm even against stronger opponents in this season’s Turkish top flight. They’ve already drawn 0-0 to Fenerbahçe and 1-1 with Trabzonspor.
The guests have only conceded 0.93 goals per 90 on average. Those numbers show they can keep it tight against Galatasaray, who’ve scored one or fewer in four of their previous six games in all tournaments.
