Samsunspor vs Fenerbahçe SK

Samsunspor host Fenerbahce in a fixture that already carries plenty of early-season weight. Fenerbahce are still shaking off an opening-day defeat to Genclerbirligi, while Samsunspor want to prove their bright start was no fluke against the league's biggest name. Samsunspor arrive unbeaten through two rounds, a 3-3 draw with Goztepe followed by a 2-0 win at Rizespor. Fenerbahce have won two and drawn one since that opening-day loss, though their Champions League qualification over Lyon was overshadowed by a brawl involving Matteo Guendouzi. Expect Talisca, N'Golo Kante and Mason Greenwood to support new signing Vedat Muriqi, with Romelu Lukaku pushing for minutes off the bench. The visitors are missing Kerem Akturkoglu, Amara Diouf and keeper Gunok, while Samsunspor face late fitness tests for Afonso Sousa and Antoine Makoumbou. The last three meetings between these sides have all finished level, and Fenerbahce remain unbeaten in five against the Red Lightning. Our prediction: 1-2
