In the first semi-final match of the playoffs of the Turkish First League, Altynordu and Samsunspor will meet. Whose side will the luck be on?
"Altynordu"
"Altynordu" only in the last round secured a place in the playoff zone, finishing on the sixth line. This was facilitated by the victory over Balikesirspor with a score of 5-0. In general, in the last 16 rounds, Altynordu has lost only twice, and in addition it has won nine times and drawn five times. Unstable results were observed at "Altynordu" and in home matches. In the eight extreme rounds, there was only one defeat, but there were not many victories-four, and three more world ones.
"Samsunspor"
If "Altynordu" is happy with the very fact of getting into the playoffs, as it could be outside of it, then the participation of "Samsunspor" in the elimination rounds upset the club. After all, he scored the same number of points - 70, as well as "Giresunspor" and "Adanademirspor", which were directly promoted in the class, losing to them in face-to-face confrontations. In the last seven rounds of the regular season, Samsunspor performed almost without misfires, winning six games with one draw.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Dereli (ankle injury) - Altynordu. Tomane (hip injury) - Samsunspor.
Statistics and figures:
- Altynordu has a 4-match unbeaten streak: 2 wins and 2 draws;
- "Samsunspor" does not lose 7 matches: 6 wins and a draw;
- In the three previous face-to-face battles "Altynordu" and "Samsunspor " played in a draw.
Forecast
I propose to play the victory of "Samsunspor" with a handicap of 0. It lacked one point to not only be in the zone of direct promotion in the class, but also to win the First League, but "Altynordu" finished in the playoffs only thanks to the victory in the last round, and in general, it has been unstable lately.
