Sunday's Turkish Super Lig predictions including Samsunspor vs. Besiktas

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's Turkish Super Lig fixtures, including Samsunspor vs. Besiktas.


Sivasspor vs. Trabzonspor (Sunday, 5.15pm)

Two of last season's high-performing sides Sivasspor and Trabzonspor tussle in gameweek one of the 2024-25 Turkish Super Lig season at the New Sivas 4 Eylul Stadium on Sunday.

Both sides finished in the previous campaign's top seven, and they seek strong starts to the new term.

We say: Sivasspor 1-1 Trabzonspor


Despite not taking part in competitive games unlike Trabzonspor, Sivasspor head into gameweek one on the back of encouraging results.

The hosts also have a three-game unbeaten run against Sunday's away side to add to the home support's optimism before this weekend, and we are backing them to avoid defeat against a side with one eye on next week's continental tie in Austria.

Alanyaspor vs. Eyupspor (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Alanyaspor will be Eyupspor's first-ever Turkish Super Lig opponents when both sides meet in gameweek one's match at the Bahcesehir Okullari Stadium on Sunday.

The hosts returned to the competition's top half last term after a significant dip in the 2022-23 campaign, and they hope for a strong start against a side tasting the league for the first time.

We say: Alanyaspor 1-1 Eyupspor


Pre-season is typically a period to build match sharpness, but Alanyaspor played one friendly game while Eyupspor partook in none. That means supporters may be unsure of what to expect on Sunday, and that uncertainty means we err on the side of caution to predict both sides accepting a point in gameweek one.

Samsunspor vs. Besiktas (Sunday, 7.45pm)

Samsunspor begin their Turkish Super Lig season against 16-time champions Besiktas in Sunday's match at the Samsun 19 Mayis Stadium.

The hosts ended 13th on their return to the big time, and they hope to avoid last season's slow start against a side keen to find levels of their previous title-winning campaign from three years back.

We say: Samsunspor 1-3 Besiktas


While Samsunspor showed they are a different animal on home soil last season, Besiktas have improved their attack over the summer, with the additions of Immobile and Silva giving the 16-time champions extra firepower over most teams, and the pair should flourish on debut on Sunday.
