• Competition: Super Lig
• Date: Monday, 25th December 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
• Venue: Kırbıyık Holding Stadyumu (Alanya)

Since Alanyaspor came to Super Lig in 2016, they have been a solid team for most of the season. Still, this season, Alanyaspor collected only 17 points in the first 16 matches, so they are two points above the relegation zone. The biggest problem for Fatih Tekke's team is the lack of quality in the attack, as they have scored only 15 goals so far. Luckily for Alanyaspor, they improved defensively lately, so the team from southern Turkey won three of the last three matches. In the previous game, they won 3-1 on the road against Besiktas. The home side was close to one point in that match, but the guests scored two times late in the second half and picked up a win versus one of the best Turkish teams. 

Samsunspor returned to Super Lig this season, but after 15 points in the first 16 matches, they are in the drop zone. Samsunspor could get out of the troubling position if they record a good result on Monday afternoon. Samsunspor have a similar problem to Alanyaspor, as they have scored only 18 goals so far. Still, the attack improved recently in a run of four games without defeat in the last twenty days. In the previous match, Samsunspor played 1-1 at home against Konyaspor. 

Alanyaspor vs Samsunspor pick: Under 2.5 goals

Alanyaspor went under 2.5 goals in two of the last three matches, while Samsunspor didn't exceed two goals in four of the previous five road games. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
