REF’s picks

Istanbul Basaksehir hold a clear upper hand at home against a struggling Samsunspor side mired in a severe losing slump. The visitors are leaking goals heavily on their travels, and their depleted squad will struggle to contain an experienced hosts' attack.

1. 1Istanbul Basaksehir boast a strong recent head-to-head record against Samsunspor, winning four of their last five meetings.
2. 2Samsunspor arrive in miserable form with five consecutive defeats across all competitions, conceding a high volume of goals.
3. 3Defensive absences for Basaksehir could offer the visitors rare counter-attacking openings if they manage to find any rhythm.
