Full Analysis
Samsun Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadyumu plays host to Samsunspor versus Gaziantep FK in Süper Lig, Regular Season - 21. Kick-off: Friday 24 January 2025 at 17:00 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Samsunspor have collected 1.80 PPG across 10 Süper Lig outings this season: 5W 3D 2L. Last five: L D W W D. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Samsunspor, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Samsunspor at Samsun Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadyumu this season: 5W 3D 2L from 10 home games — 1.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game.
Gaziantep FK (all games): 5W 2D 3L across 10 Süper Lig outings this term — 1.70 points per game. Last five: L W D W D. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. This season is still relatively young for Gaziantep FK, so this record blends games from this season and last.
On the road, Gaziantep FK have gone 2W 2D 6L from 10 away fixtures this term (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.20 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.70 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.80 for Samsunspor, 1.70 for Gaziantep FK — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
H2H History
Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 3 meetings: Samsunspor 1W, Gaziantep FK 1W, 1D.
The 3 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 18 Aug 2024, ended 1–0 with Samsunspor winning.
The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.
Trading & In-Play
Samsunspor — key trading statistics (57 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (home games).
Gaziantep FK — key trading statistics (57 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 62% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Samsunspor 49% versus Gaziantep FK 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Samsunspor 44% | Gaziantep FK 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Samsunspor 2.45 xG and Gaziantep FK 1.14 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Samsunspor attack 1.133 / defence 0.940 | Gaziantep FK attack 1.039 / defence 1.333. League average goals — home 1.624 / away 1.170. Gaziantep FK bring a strong defensive rating of 1.333 — this is suppressing Samsunspor's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 57 Samsunspor games / 57 Gaziantep FK games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Samsunspor 65% | Draw 21% | Gaziantep FK 14%. Fair-value odds: Samsunspor 1.54 | Draw 4.76 | Gaziantep FK 7.14. The model has a clear lean to Samsunspor (65%) — a 51pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS probability 64% | Total xG 3.60. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 70% — a total xG of 3.60 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 64% reflects that both xG figures (2.45 / 1.14) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Samsunspor as the most likely outcome at 65% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.60 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 70% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate: Samsunspor 50% | Gaziantep FK 70% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Samsunspor beat Gaziantep FK 2-1 at Samsun Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadyumu, Regular Season - 21, in the Süper Lig. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Samsunspor 2.45 xG and Gaziantep FK 1.14 xG, a combined 3.60. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Samsunspor attack 1.13 / defence 0.94 against Gaziantep FK attack 1.04 / defence 1.33, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Samsunspor 65% | Draw 21% | Gaziantep FK 14%, with Samsunspor to win its most likely call at 65%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 70%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 89% and landed. Over 3.5 was 48% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Samsunspor 44%, Gaziantep FK 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
