Trabzonspor vs Samsunspor Prediction and Betting Tips | May 25th 2025
Trabzonspor will host Samsunspor at Akyazi Stadium on Sunday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig campaign. The hosts have missed out on European qualification for next season but will be looking to finish the season with positive momentum.
Trabzonspor narrowly escaped defeat against Bodrum last weekend, equalizing with a 76th-minute penalty as the game finished 1-1. They sit in seventh place, seven points off the top five with two games to go but will remain keen to get back to winning ways having failed to win any of their last four games.
Samsunspor’s 1-0 win over Sivasspor last time out made it three consecutive wins for the visitors after they had lost their previous four games on the trot. Kırmızı Şimşekler’s fairytale season is all but complete as they only need one point to confirm a top-four finish and in turn, UEFA Europa League qualification which will mark the club's first-ever European appearance.
