Samsunspor host Çorum FK on 12 September 2026 at 17:00 in a Süper Lig clash between a wounded home side and visitors riding momentum. Samsunspor have lost their last two matches without scoring, shipping five goals at home in that span. Torsten Fink's squad faces a staffing crisis: Marius Muandilmaji (main striker), Tangi Kulibali (winger), and Elliot Watt (midfielder, suspended) are all unavailable. Çorum arrive off a 3-0 demolition of Eyüpspor and sit on an emotional high. Ugur Ucar's team plays open, aggressive football and has scored consistently in away matches, though their defence collapses against high-tempo opponents.
Form and H2H
Samsunspor's last ten matches show four wins, two draws, and four losses at home, averaging 1.26 goals for and 1.33 against. Çorum's away form reads five wins, two draws, three losses over the same period, with 1.71 goals for and 1.23 against. The head-to-head record is split: Çorum won 2-1 in December 2019, Samsunspor thrashed them 6-1 in March 2024, and most recently Çorum took a 5-1 victory in their last meeting this season. Samsunspor have failed to win either of their last two home games and conceded five goals across those matches. Çorum have scored four times in two away outings and won their most recent fixture convincingly.
Best bet
Çorum will not lose. Samsunspor have no wins in their last two home matches, no goals in their last two outings, and a depleted squad missing key attacking and midfield players. Çorum are in form after a dominant away performance and have shown they can score multiple goals on the road. The visitors' defensive vulnerabilities against high-tempo play are a concern, but Samsunspor's current attacking drought and injury list make them unlikely to exploit that weakness decisively. Back Çorum not to lose at the available odds.
Odds to watch
Çorum's away matches have produced 12 goals across two fixtures, and Samsunspor have conceded five at home in two recent games. Both teams carry defensive gaps in midfield and favour open, attacking play. Over 2.5 goals is a strong proposition given the attacking intent from both sides and the frailties in transition. Monitor the team sheets for any late injury updates to Samsunspor's forward line, as further absences would tighten Çorum's path to at least a draw or win.
