Samsunspor vs Dyn. Kyiv prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-22 19:00.
[p]Samsunspor must be relishing their first taste of UEFA Conference League action at home after winning on matchday one, as they prepare to host struggling Dynamo Kyiv.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Samsunspor’s debut appearance in the main draw of a major European competition went as well as they could have hoped as they secured a shock 1-0 win away at Legia Warsaw. As that triumph came as part of a current six-game unbeaten run (W3, D3), the Red Lightning will hope to strike again as they look forward to their first home game in the Conference League. Results have been less convincing here for Thomas Reis’ side as they’ve only won one of their last five home fixtures (D3, L1), with three of those five matches producing goalless draws.[/p]
[p]Dynamo Kyiv arrive in Turkey low on confidence having won none of their last five games (D4, L1), including a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on matchday one – another side making their debut in major European competition. The Blue and Whites have also won just one of their last five European games (L4), so the omens are not good for the Ukrainian giants. They have at least avoided defeat in their last four away games (W1, D3) since Maccabi Tel Aviv beat them 3-1 in Europa League qualifying in August.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]These two sides have never previously met, and this is also Samsunspor’s first game against a Ukrainian team. Dynamo are winless across their last five clashes with Turkish sides (D1, L4), all of them coming since the start of the 2022/23 season.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]An average of six yellow cards were shown across Samsunspor’s last four fixtures.[/p]
[p]None of Samsunspor’s six home games in UEFA competitions saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Six of Dynamo’s last seven matches produced an even number of goals.[/p]
[p]Dynamo conceded at least twice in four of their last five European away games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]While Samsunspor’s Anthony Musaba netted in the tenth minute against Legia, four of his last six goals arrived after the 85th minute. Each of Dynamo’s Nazar Voloshyn’s last four strikes came between the 30th and 60th minutes.[/p]
[p]Samsunspor are likely to be without Olivier Ntcham and Soner AydoÄźdu, while Kristian Bilovar is a doubt for Dynamo having sat out their latest game.[/p]
