On 7 November 2026, Samsunspor and Konyaspor are set to meet, and the two sides arrive in very different moods. Samsunspor have lost each of their last five matches, while Konyaspor have one win, two draws and two defeats from their latest five outings. The head-to-head record has been competitive: the previous five meetings produced 13 goals, and four of those games ended with a victory for one of the teams.
Samsunspor’s recent form is alarming. Across their five-match losing sequence they have scored four goals and conceded fifteen. The 2-5 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir and the 1-4 loss to Kasimpasa exposed serious defensive problems. In those two games the opponents generated xG of 3.63 and 2.16, while Samsunspor managed 0.49 and 1.46. There was more attacking promise against Amedspor: 22 shots, five on target and 1.84 xG, yet the result was still a 1-2 loss. That contradiction sums up the team: they can reach dangerous areas, but finishing and defensive reliability remain unstable. The broader numbers are also troubling — one goal scored and 2.6 conceded per match on average. At home, in the available sample, Samsunspor lost 1-2 to Amedspor, so home advantage has not yet offset their poor form.
Konyaspor look sturdier. Over five matches they have one win, two draws and two losses, scoring three and conceding seven. Their latest outing ended in a 0-4 defeat to Galatasaray, but the attacking indicators were not hopeless: 16 shots, eight on target, six big chances and 2.12 xG. Before that they beat Genclerbirligi 2-0, drew 0-0 with Istanbul Basaksehir and lost 0-1 to Amedspor. The main trait of the visitors is the gap between chance quality and final scores. Their recent xG figures include 2.12, 1.50, 0.32 and 0.85, but actual output has stayed limited. Over a longer stretch Konyaspor average 0.6 goals scored and 1.3 conceded; away from home those averages are 0.5 and 1.5. They create opportunities, but they do not always convert them.
In the last five matches Samsunspor have four goals for and fifteen against, and in four of those games they failed to score more than once. Konyaspor, over the same period, were blanked three times and kept their opponents to one goal or fewer in three matches. The head-to-head goal totals are also useful: Samsunspor have scored 2, 3, 1, 0 and 0 in the five meetings, while Konyaspor have replied with 2, 1, 0, 1 and 3. Three of those five games finished with no more than three goals combined. Seasonal averages support a cautious view of the hosts: Samsunspor score one goal per game, but at home they concede an average of three.
Samsunspor need to stop a five-game losing run, but their recent performances do not suggest an immediate attacking breakthrough. The hosts repeatedly allow opponents to build high xG and to shoot from dangerous positions. Konyaspor are also inconsistent in front of goal, so they may control portions of the game without being certain to score multiple times. The most plausible pattern is a low-scoring outing for Samsunspor, especially because four of their last five matches featured no more than one goal from them. The overall result is harder to call: head-to-head meetings have often produced a winner, and Konyaspor’s away form is not perfect either. The main selection is Samsunspor individual total under 1.5. That bet is supported by the hosts’ current losing sequence, their average scoring rate, their finishing problems and the fact that Konyaspor conceded no more than one goal in three of their last five games.
