Samsunspor have been no more consistent, with one win, one draw and one defeat over the same period. Both teams are looking to push towards the Champions League places, though a contrast in their attacking output is already apparent. The last meeting between the two ended 0-0.

Head-to-head statistics Kocaelispor - Samsunspor

Kocaelispor Team Overview
Kocaelispor have had some short-term success, winning two of their last three matches. However, looking at their last ten games, there are clear problems in front of goal - just 0.7 goals scored per game on average, with only two wins and four defeats. They started the current season with two consecutive victories, but that was followed by a run of three defeats before this recent spell, which does little to inspire confidence in their attacking output even at home. Their league motivation is moderate - closing the small gap to the Champions League places remains a priority, but the early stage of the season means there is no need to take excessive risks.
Match Results: Kocaelispor

Samsunspor Team Overview
Samsunspor have been sharper in attack in their opening matches - nearly two goals per game over a ten-match period, with six wins in that spell, which points to their potential to pick up points against mid-table opposition. That said, the defence has had its issues, conceding an average of 1.3 per game, and current form is inconsistent - one win, one draw and one defeat in their last three league matches makes it hard to talk about any real stability right now. The club are also looking to move up the table; their objective mirrors their opponents' - a push for the Champions League places - though the stage of the season is not yet creating any serious pressure.
