✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
Göztepe welcome Samsunspor to Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu in Süper Lig (matchday 26). Kick-off is Monday 3 March 2025 at 17:30 UK time.
Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, Göztepe have gone 4W 2D 4L — a 1.40 PPG return. Last five: W L L D L. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 0.90 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Göztepe's form when playing at home: 9W 0D 1L across their last 10 home games (2.70 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 2.70 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Göztepe are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Samsunspor stand at 5W 2D 3L — 1.70 PPG. Last five: W L W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 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. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
When travelling, Samsunspor have posted 5W 2D 3L from their last 10 away outings — 1.70 PPG. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from their last 10 away games (50%) — they are hard to break down on the road. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Göztepe 1.40 PPG, Samsunspor 1.70 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. Göztepe's 30% BTTS rate and Samsunspor's 30% (from Göztepe's last 10 home games and Samsunspor's last 10 away games) are both low — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.
Head to Head
The H2H picture is flat: the 1 H2H match we hold have produced 0 wins for Göztepe, 1 for Samsunspor and 0 draws. Form and model data should carry more weight here. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 1 H2H match in our data have been high-scoring — 7.0 goals per game on average — which backs the Over 2.5 market from the head-to-head side. The most recent of those, on 28 Sep 2024, ended Göztepe 3–4 Samsunspor — a Samsunspor win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 7.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
Göztepe in-play tendencies (last 23 games, 11 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 82% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; they lead at the break 48% of the time; of the 11 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 36%; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (home games).
Samsunspor in-play tendencies (last 23 games, 11 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 64% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; they lead at the break 48% of the time; of the 7 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 57%; BTTS occurs in 27% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Göztepe 52% versus Samsunspor 39%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Göztepe 56% | Samsunspor 52%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Göztepe surrender their half-time lead 36% of the time, while Samsunspor have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 57% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Göztepe 1.48 xG and Samsunspor 0.82 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: Göztepe attack 1.095 / defence 0.817 | Samsunspor attack 0.852 / defence 0.823. League average goals — home 1.639 / away 1.182. Data: built from Göztepe's last 23 games and Samsunspor's last 62.
Result probabilities: Göztepe 52% | Draw 28% | Samsunspor 20%. Fair-value odds: Göztepe 1.93 | Draw 3.57 | Samsunspor 4.97. Göztepe hold a narrow Poisson edge at 52% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS Yes probability 44% | Total xG 2.30. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.30 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 56% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Göztepe are the pick at 52% — moderate model lean. With a 28% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Göztepe offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
The Poisson model projects 2.30 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 60% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 56% on No. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Göztepe 30% (last 10 home games) | Samsunspor 30% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Göztepe and Samsunspor finished level at 2-2 at Gürsel Aksel Stadyumu, Regular Season - 26, in the Süper Lig. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Göztepe 1.48 xG and Samsunspor 0.82 xG, a combined 2.30. The scoreboard read 2-2 for 4 actual goals. Samsunspor outscored their 0.82 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Göztepe attack 1.09 / defence 0.82 against Samsunspor attack 0.85 / defence 0.82, drawn from 23/62 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Göztepe 52% | Draw 28% | Samsunspor 20%, with Göztepe to win its most likely call at 52%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. Over 3.5 was 20% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Göztepe 56%, Samsunspor 52%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Göztepe's trading profile (23 games, 11 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.
Samsunspor's trading profile (23 games, 11 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
On form, Samsunspor arrived the stronger side — 2.00 PPG against 1.52. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Göztepe (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.64 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Samsunspor (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.09 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
