Karagumruk take on the visitors Samsunspor in the round 38 match of Turkish Super Lig. The match will be played on Friday, May 25th at Atatürk Olimpiyat (Istanbul).
Fatih Karagumruk, who finished in a strong seventh place last season, risks being relegated to the second division this year. With one match left, the team is positioned third from the bottom in the standings. The chances of survival are slim, but they still exist. They need to win their match and hope for Ankaragucu to lose away to Trabzonspor. I don’t know how the battle for survival in the Super Lig will end, but I confidently place a bet on both teams to score (BTTS), as it has hit in the last six matches involving Fatih: victories over Istanbulspor (2-1) and Antalyaspor (4-1), a draw with Kayserispor (2-2), and losses to Galatasaray (1-2), Fenerbahce (2-3), and Gaziantep FK (1-3).

Samsunspor also frequently exchanges goals with their opponents in their matches towards the end of the championship. In six of their last matches, this has happened four times: a win over Trabzonspor (3-1), draws with Besiktas (1-1), Adana Demirspor (1-1), and Alanyaspor (1-1). As for their league position, the Red Lightning are playing out the season at their leisure, comfortably sitting in mid-table, five points clear of the relegation zone, having already secured their place in the league for next year. In their last two away games, Samsunspor failed to score. The match against Fatih, who concedes to everyone, is a great chance to finally score on the road.
Bookmakers are favoring the home team in this match, as they desperately need the win. The outcome of this match will determine whether Fatih Karagumruk will play in the Super Lig next season or not. There’s no doubt that Tolunay Kafkas’ side will attack in numbers and should score at least one goal against an unmotivated opponent. But Samsunspor are more than capable of catching their opponents on the counterattack at least once. My prediction is both teams to score (BTTS).
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
