Samsunspor vs Rizespor Prediction 27.10.2025 | Super Lig

Samsunspor approach Round 10 of the Turkish top flight brimming with confidence after an imposing midweek display in Europe, where they thrilled their supporters with a commanding 3-0 demolition of Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv.

Returning to league duties, the Red Lightning are also boasting an impressive run of five straight games without defeat, drawing three and winning two, with their most recent outing seeing them hand Kayserispor a heavy 3-1 loss on the road.

German tactician Thomas Reis has revitalized the Samsun-based club, as they have found themselves on the wrong side of the result in just one match since the start of the 2025-26 campaign, while their 16-point haul places them seventh, just one point behind the final European spot held by Gaziantep.

Bedirhan Cetin, Olivier Ntcham, and Tanguy Coulibaly will all miss Monday’s clash as they continue their recoveries, but the lineup that toppled Dynamo Kyiv is expected to take the field.

Since returning to the top tier of Turkish football in the 2023-24 season, Rizespor have had their least successful start this season, managing to eke out just nine points from as many matches, which keeps them only two points above the relegation zone.

Since the start of the new Super Lig season, the Black Sea Sparrowhawks have struggled to find a consistent run of form, as their results show, alternating between a win, a draw, and a loss over their last six league fixtures.

As they head into a tricky trip to Samsun, Ilhan Palut’s side will be boosted by their most recent away performance, where they delivered their best display of the season to hammer Alanyaspor 5-2, ending a miserable three-game winless streak.

It remains to be seen whether attacking duo Ibrahim Olawoyin and Halil Dervisoglu will be available for Monday’s clash, as both have recently struggled with injuries that kept them out of their team’s last three matches.
