Samsunspor vs Galatasaray: Super Lig 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
Galatasaray, a prominent team in the Turkish Super Lig, aims to maintain the heat on their competitors as they visit Samsunspor this upcoming Friday. Both squads enter the match with ongoing undefeated streaks, and the hosts seek to cause an upset while widening their distance from the relegation zone.
Samsunspor secured a crucial 1-1 draw against Istanbulspor, moving three points clear of the relegation zone. Emre Kilinc’s equalizer canceled out Emir Kaan Gultekin’s lead, extending Samsunspor’s unbeaten streak to five games, including three wins. With 26 points in 14th place, a victory on Friday could level them with 10th-placed Sivasspor. Samsunspor boasts confidence at home, ranking seventh with 20 points from 33 and a six-match unbeaten run, winning the last three without conceding. However, a worrisome five-match losing streak against Galatasaray adds an element of uncertainty to the upcoming fixture.
Galatasaray continued their impressive unbeaten run in the league, reaching 11 matches with a comeback 2-1 victory over Gaziantep. Despite Arda Kizildag giving Gaziantep an early lead, second-half goals from Wilfried Zaha and Baris Yilmaz secured the win for the Lions. Galatasaray, currently tied on points with league leaders Fenerbahce, is eager to maintain their title race momentum. However, with their recent inconsistency on the road, winning just two of the last five away games, they aim to rediscover the form that led to five consecutive away wins earlier in the season, avoiding the need for comebacks.

Samsunspor probable starting lineup: Kocuk, Yavru, Satka, Ozturk, Bola, Tait, Antalyali, Kilinc, Holse, Fofana, Mouandilmadji
