Samsunspor vs Eyupspor Prediction: 24.12.2025 Turkish Cup

As Turkish Cup Group B action heats up this December, Samsunspor host Eyupspor at the Samsun 19 Mayıs Stadyumu in what is shaping up to be a key fixture for both clubs’ cup ambitions. Both teams enter the game seeking a spark — Samsunspor to recover from a rough patch, and Eyupspor to consolidate promising momentum. While each side brings very different recent form and squad profiles to the pitch, this encounter carries added intrigue with tactical familiarity: both frequently use the 4-2-3-1 formation, setting the stage for a well-matched midfield battle.

Two players worth watching closely are Anthony Musaba for Samsunspor, who has struck twice in his last five appearances, bringing energy and unpredictability in attack, and Eyupspor’s Svit Seslar, whose contributions in both creation (2 assists) and finishing (1 goal) suggest he’s central to their offensive transitions.

“Hot stat”: In Eyupspor’s recent outing against Cankaya, they netted an impressive 6 goals, a testament to their offensive potential and a feat no other team in Group B has matched in a single fixture so far.

Samsunspor vs Eyupspor prediction

Given the teams’ contrasting trajectories — Samsunspor have gone winless in their last seven, while Eyupspor have scored nine in their last five — value sits with Eyupspor’s attacking upside. However, both sides’ shared 4-2-3-1 shape suggests neither midfield will concede ground easily, setting up a competitive affair rather than a one-sided contest.

From a betting angle, the most logical approach is to consider a bet that protects against a stalemate but leverages Eyupspor’s stronger recent output. A Draw No Bet: Eyupspor offers a safe, high-value pick. Additionally, with 13 yellow cards for Eyupspor and 9 for Samsunspor in the last five games, and both showing a willingness to foul (57 for Eyupspor, 73 for Samsunspor), expect a physical match. Their combined shot count over the last five (121) and above-average corner numbers (42) favor over 2.5 goals and a busy corner tally. Still, Samsunspor’s finishing struggles (4 goals in 5 matches) tempers the expectation of a shootout.

Team Analysis

Samsunspor Recent Games:
Samsunspor enter this fixture on a worrying run. Their most recent match, a 0-2 defeat to Mainz, extended a winless streak to seven games. Despite notable efforts from Musaba and Emre Kılınç — the latter notching 1 goal, 1 assist in his last five — Samsunspor have managed just four goals in that stretch while conceding easy chances. Aggression is present, as shown by 73 recent fouls, but so too is a lack of sharpness in the final third and susceptibility when under pressure. Previous close contests, like their narrow 2-3 loss to Galatasaray, underline their ability to compete but not close out results.

Eyupspor Recent Games:
Eyupspor arrive in better spirits, having picked up two wins in their last six, including a sensational 6-1 hammering of Cankaya. Their last match, however, was a 0-3 loss to Fenerbahce — a reality check, though not wholly indicative of their overall quality. Svit Seslar and Prince Obeng Ampem have made a difference in recent outings, contributing to a slightly above-average 9 goals in five games. Fewer fouls, higher pass completion, and a sharper edge in attack have helped Eyupspor look more threatening, especially on the break.

Possible Starting Lineups

Samsunspor possible starting eleven

Samsunspor have largely relied on a backline marshaled by Van Drongelen and Zeki Yavru, with workhorse Mkakoumbou aiding connection out of midfield. The main excitement is up front, where Musaba and Kılınç supply direct pace and shooting threat. Expect a 4-2-3-1 setup, banking on width and quick transitions to unsettle Eyupspor.

Eyupspor possible starting eleven

Eyupspor will likely mirror Samsunspor’s 4-2-3-1, but with an extra creative edge from midfield courtesy of Seslar and Legowski. Scouting focus should be on Bozok up top, who is coming off a strong spell and adds aerial potency. Marcos Felipe’s consistency in goal also lends solidity.

My take on the Match

My main prediction for Samsunspor vs Eyupspor is an open contest with both teams likely getting on the scoresheet, but the edge goes to Eyupspor thanks to their recent attacking displays and slightly better cohesion through the middle. Draw No Bet Eyupspor stands as the top-value pick for bettors seeking reasonable risk management. Still, every cup game has its surprises, and the home atmosphere should spur Samsunspor to perform closer to their potential. Expect drama and plenty of talking points from this Group B tussle.
