Full Analysis
Samsun Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadyumu plays host to Samsunspor versus Gaziantep FK in Süper Lig (matchday 21). Kick-off: Friday 24 January 2025 at 17:00 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Samsunspor have collected 1.80 PPG across their last 10 games: 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.
Samsunspor at home: 5W 3D 2L from their last 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 their last 10 — 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.
On the road, Gaziantep FK have gone 2W 2D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (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 recently.
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
Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Samsunspor, 1 for Gaziantep FK and 1 draw — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 18 Aug 2024, ended Samsunspor 1–0 Gaziantep FK — a Samsunspor win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading & In-Play
Samsunspor — key trading statistics (last 57 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 26 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; 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 (last 57 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 79% of their matches 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; of the 17 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; 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%). Note also that Gaziantep FK surrender HT leads in 29% of cases while Samsunspor recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 46% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
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's defence rating of 1.333 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Samsunspor's projected output up. Data: built from Samsunspor's last 57 games and Gaziantep FK's last 57.
Result probabilities: Samsunspor 65% | Draw 21% | Gaziantep FK 14%. Fair-value odds: Samsunspor 1.55 | Draw 4.75 | Gaziantep FK 6.93. The model has a clear lean to Samsunspor (65%) — a 44pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 70% | BTTS Yes 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% — both xG figures (2.45 / 1.14) are high enough that each side is 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 conviction, supported by recent form (Samsunspor's last 10 home games and Gaziantep FK's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Samsunspor 50% (last 10 home games) | Gaziantep FK 70% (last 10 away 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.
Goals & Markets
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.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Samsunspor's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did.
Gaziantep FK's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Samsunspor 1.40 PPG, Gaziantep FK 1.23 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Samsunspor win broke the near-deadlock.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
