Samsunspor – Torku Konyaspor

Süper Lig · Sat 7 Nov, 16:00

The pick

Samsunspor to win @ 2.36 · 43%

Kuponcu rates this at 43% against the market’s 43% (goal model: 42%): fair odds 2.33. Only take it at odds of 2.33 or higher.

Why this pick

The sharp market still makes Samsunspor favourites at about 43%, and the goal model is close behind at 42.3%, so both sources agree on the home side. Expected goals of 1.40 v 1.11 favour Samsunspor. Konyaspor have scored only 3 goals in their last six games and have not won any of their last two away matches.

The case against

Samsunspor have lost all six recent matches, scoring 5 and conceding 20, and that includes home defeats to Amedspor, Trabzonspor and Corum. Konyaspor's defence has held up well apart from the 0-4 loss to Galatasaray, with three clean sheets in their last six. A price based on reputation may be too generous to a side in a run this bad.

Risks

Team news

The supplied headlines are generic previews and an unrelated Galatasaray story, with no injury or line-up details for either team, so they don't change the view on this pick.

Second opinion

This isn't a value bet, so the case against it rests on the football. Samsunspor have lost six in a row, including three at home, conceding 20 goals. Konyaspor have mostly been tight and low-scoring, so a draw or an away result looks entirely possible. Still, the sharp market and the model independently put Samsunspor at about 43%, and no team news was supplied to back up a bigger objection, so the case against is moderate rather than strong.
