Samsunspor vs Amed: what the match decides

Samsunspor host Amed at Samsun 19 Mayis Stadyumu on Saturday 24 October 2026 in Round 9 of the Süper Lig. The table shows a wide gap. Amed are second with 17 points from eight games, two behind leader Galatasaray on 19, while Samsunspor are 17th of 18 with 4 points.

For the visitors, the match decides whether they stay in the title and Champions League qualification conversation. For Samsunspor, it is a chance to stop a slide that has them in the relegation zone. On the numbers, Amed are clear favourites, but a home side in this much trouble can still be hard to read.

Samsunspor and Amed recent form

Samsunspor have lost all five of their last five league games. They scored 2 goals and conceded 14, which is 0.4 scored and 2.8 conceded per game, with no clean sheets and three games without a goal. Their season record is one win, one draw and six defeats from eight, with a goal difference of minus 12.

The home record is the sharpest concern. In two home games they lost 1-5 to Çorum FK and 0-3 to Trabzonspor, scoring 1 and conceding 8, an average of 4 goals against per match.

Amed have won three and drawn two of their last five, with no defeats. They scored 13 and conceded 6, averaging 2.6 scored and 1.2 conceded, with two clean sheets. Highlights include a 5-0 home win over Başakşehir, a 3-2 win over Beşiktaş and a 1-0 win over Konyaspor last time out.

Away from home, Amed have drawn both games, 2-2 at Kasımpaşa and 2-2 at Gençlerbirliği. They scored 4 and conceded 4 in those two, so they find the net on the road but have not yet kept a clean sheet there.

Samsunspor vs Amed team news

Samsunspor have three players ruled out in our data: J. Assoumou with a muscle injury, C. Yuksel with an injury and F. Kaya, listed as inactive. No doubtful players are reported for the hosts. Given how many goals they have conceded, any loss of depth is a worry.

Amed are without L. Dellova and M. Yildirim, both out with muscle injuries. Y. Sor is doubtful with a muscle injury and may be assessed late. Amed have been scoring freely, so these absences matter less in attack than the defensive questions they raise.

No line-ups are published yet. They are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, so check them before drawing firm conclusions from the absence list.

Storylines for Samsunspor and Amed

Samsunspor's story is a run of five straight defeats in the Süper Lig, the last three by margins of three goals or more: 0-3 against Trabzonspor and 1-4 at Kasımpaşa after a 1-5 home loss to Çorum FK. They sit 17th and a win would be only their second of the season. A heavy home defeat would leave them further adrift.

Amed's story is consistency near the top. They are 2nd with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, and have scored 18 goals while conceding 9, a goal difference of plus 9. Another win would keep them within touching distance of Galatasaray at the top.

The risk for Amed is the away form. Both their trips in this five-game spell ended in draws after conceding twice, so the visitors have given sides a way back into games.

Where Samsunspor vs Amed will be decided

The central contrast is Amed's attack against Samsunspor's defence. Amed average 2.6 goals per game in their last five and scored in every one of them. Samsunspor have conceded 2.8 per game over the same stretch and 4 per game at home. If those trends hold, Amed should create plenty of chances.

The other side matters too. Samsunspor have failed to score in three of their last five and average just 0.4 goals per game. Amed have kept two clean sheets in five, so they are not leaky, but both away draws had them conceding twice. Samsunspor will probably need an early goal or a set-piece to make the game competitive.

Game state may decide the tempo. If Samsunspor fall behind, their recent results suggest the match could open up, which points towards goals.

Samsunspor vs Amed head-to-head

The sides have met four times, all in the 2. Lig between 2018 and 2020. Samsunspor won two, Amed won one and one game was drawn, with 2.25 goals per game. Both teams scored in only one meeting, and two games had more than 2.5 goals.

The results were 1-0 to Samsunspor in September 2018, 3-2 to Amed in January 2019, a 0-0 draw in October 2019 and a 3-0 Samsunspor win in February 2020. These games are several years old, in a lower division, so they say little about current form.

Samsunspor vs Amed prediction

Our lean is an Amed win. They are second, unbeaten in their last five and averaging 2.6 goals per game, while Samsunspor have lost five in a row and conceded 4 per game at home. The model edge sits clearly with the visitors, though their away draws show they are not unbeatable on the road.

On goals, the lean is towards more than 2.5. Amed have gone over that line in four of five, and both Samsunspor home games this season did too. The counterpoint is Samsunspor's weak scoring, so one-sided scorelines such as 0-2 or 1-3 are the likeliest shapes.

A fast Samsunspor start, a late fitness issue for Amed involving Y. Sor, or a first clean sheet for the hosts could all change this read. MATCH PULSE's three AI engines (GPT, Claude and Gemini) publish their independent analysis of the match before kick-off.
