The Süper Lig clash between Samsunspor and Beşiktaş kicks off on 2026-04-19 at 14:00. This fixture presents a classic top-four contender meeting a mid-table side, but the data reveals a significant strength gap that bettors should not ignore.

At home, they average 1.80 goals scored and 1.20 goals conceded. However, their defensive record is shaky, with only a 40% clean sheet rate in the last 10 games. Beşiktaş, currently 4th with 55 points, boasts a much stronger recent form. Over the last 10 matches, they have won 7, drawn 1, and lost 2, achieving a 70% win rate. Their attack is potent, averaging 2.20 goals per game, while their defense is solid, conceding only 1.00 goals per game.
