Samsunspor – Fenerbahce Preview: Latest Form, News, and Potential Lineups
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for this duel, including our predicted Samsunspor vs Fenerbahce lineups.
Samsunspor
On their return to the top flight, Samsunspor opened the new campaign with a decent 1-1 away draw vs Sivasspor. Created plenty of chances and deserved the point. Had some issues defending against crosses though.
Samsun’s gaffer is blessed to work with a fully fit squad and he might consider using more defensive tactics. Started in round 1 in a 3-4-2-1 formation but now a 5-4-1 shape seems the more likely choice as Samsun prepare to dig deep and defend stoically.
Predicted Lineup:
Kocuk (GK), Yavru, Van Drongelen, Ozturk, Antalyali, Schindler, Kilinc, Ntcham, Bola, Fofana & Laura
Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce’s league campaign began with a slightly nervy 2-1 home victory vs Gaziantep. Edin Dzeko scored both goals and could have easily had 2-3 more.
Fenerbahce are much better conditioned than most teams as they already played 6 games in European qualifiers too. Won all of those 6 games scoring 3 or more goals each time. The latest success was on Thursday when they beat Maribor 3-0 away for a 6-1 aggregate triumph.
Rotation can be expected due to the busy schedule. Summer signings Dzeko and Kent were unused subs on Thursday, suggesting that now both will be picked from the off. Batshuayi on the other hand most likely will start on the bench as he played 85 minutes on Thursday.
Right-back Osayi-Samuel got hurt last weekend and he is absent now. This opens room for another of the summer signings Muldur to make his full debut. Winger Lincoln is also sidelined but with the signings of Tadic and Szymanski, this is hardly an issue.
Predicted Lineup:
Altay (GK), Muldur, Djiku, Becao, Kadioglu, Yuksek, Yandas, Kent, Tadic, Szymanski & Dzeko
Starting Lineups
The teams usually announce their starting lineups one hour before the start of the game.
Samsunspor
Fenerbahce
Player to Watch: Eden Dzeko
The 37-year-old Dzeko joined Fenerbahce only this summer and he immediately hit the ground running with 2 goals on his Super Lig debut. Dzeko was also made a team captain and he will be eager to have at least one more 20+ goal campaign under his belt.
Dzeko seems poised to be the main leader of the attack in the league and we expect to see him causing havoc once more this Monday night.
