Samsunspor v Trabzonspor: European push meets top-three drive | OneFootball

Samsunspor host Trabzonspor in the Süper Lig on Saturday, 7 February 2026 at the Samsun Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadyumu, with seventh facing third as the hosts chase European momentum and the visitors look to cement a top three place.

The last league meeting finished 1-1 in Trabzon, while recent clashes in Samsun went the home side's way, 2-1 in January 2025 and 3-1 in May 2024.

Samsunspor drew back to back in the league before a 1-0 win at Kasımpaşa, and also advanced in the cup this week. Trabzonspor beat Kasımpaşa and Kocaelispor either side of a draw at Antalyaspor, plus a routine cup win.

Availability could matter. The hosts list Emre Kilinc, Tanguy Coulibaly, Afonso Sousa and Bedirhan Çetin as injured. The visitors are without Edin Visca, Stefan Savic and Oleksandr Zubkov through injury, and Boran Başkan is suspended until 13 February.

Season trends point to a clear match-up. Trabzonspor average 1.9 goals per game, have 10 headed goals and a 28.63% cross accuracy from open play, with Paul Onuachu second in the league scoring chart on 13. Samsunspor's games are tighter at 1.2 goals per game, but they have six clean sheets and Carlo Holse has five league goals. Both sides have kept six clean sheets and concede 1.1 per game.

A home win would take Samsunspor to 33 points and could move them closer to the European places. Victory for Trabzonspor would lift them to 45 points and strengthen their grip on third and Europa League qualification.
