They tend to perform strongly on home turf, with their last 30 matches showing 3 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses away, compared to 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses at home. Their most recent outing, a friendly against Almere City, saw them lose 2-1. In their last 10 home matches, Samsunspor has achieved 6 victories and suffered 4 defeats. While they have struggled defensively, conceding goals in 8 of their last 10 games, their attack remains potent, scoring in 8 of those matches. There’s a tendency for goals in their home fixtures, as 18 of their last 20 matches have featured over 1.5 goals. In 15 games, they have only managed to overturn a losing scoreline in 2 matches out of 8 when conceding the first goal.
Last season, Samsunspor performed beyond expectations, finishing in 3rd place and securing a place in the 4th qualifying round for the European League.

The squad seems well-prepared for their debut match, with almost all players available to compete.
Team analysis: Gençlerbirliği
The visitors are beginning their new campaign after finishing last season as runners-up, earning promotion. They have shown resilience regardless of location, with similar outcomes whether at home or away. In their last 30 matches, they have recorded 5 wins, 6 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, scoring 27 goals and conceding 20. At home, they achieved 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, netting 19 goals while only conceding 8. Coming into this match, Gençlerbirliği played to a goalless draw against Tractor Sazi. In their past 10 matches, they have secured 5 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss. Notably, their defensive solidity has been their strength, having conceded goals in only 2 of their last 10 encounters, while their attack has managed to find the net in 7 of those matches.
Re-entering the upper echelons of Turkish football after four years in the lower division, Gençlerbirliği secured direct promotion. They have retained their top scorer Metehan Mimaroğlu but have lost several other crucial attacking players. Although they’ve signed a few reinforcements, their low investment may pose challenges for remaining competitive. The midfielder Oğulcan Ülgün is suspended and will miss the opening match.
